Well, I have the Sony DCR-TRV320 digital video camera. I don't recall what firewire video capture card I have but I bought it a couple of years ago. lspci says this:

00:09.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments TSB12LV26 IEEE-1394 Controller (Link)

But that's just the chipset, not the make of the card. I know it came with the Pinnacle DV Studio software but I think many of those cards did. I know I picked it up at Best Buy. And I have an old HP CD Writer Plus 8200 CD burner that I used to burn the VCDs. I can find out the exact capture card model if you would like me to dig around for the box or open up the case on the computer. I know for sure that it wasn't the Dazzle. I'm pretty sure it was a Pinnacle card.

It already has a full distro. It's called Debian.

I would be interested to know if it has rca hookups so I could capture from a DVD player...

I've written a short tutorial on how to install Knoppix 3.1 to a HD; I'll send a copy to anyone who wants it.  BE WARNED: Knoppix is based on Debian SiD; it's the "unstable" branch of Debian; if you decide to use apt-get dist-upgrade, be prepared to have problems; also, you may (depending on your location in the world) want to edit /etc/apt/sources.list to reflect North American sources; the Knoppix defaults are European.

The one I have does not appear to have RCA inputs. I believe you can get a TV capture card very cheaply though that will work. I just read an article about turning your computer into a VCR (like a TiVo) using one (in Linux). Ah yes, it was on the same site with the dvbackup:

You might find links off of that site to a list of compatible cards.
