    AIPTEK IS-DV Digital Camcorder and Linux

    OS tested on: Mandrake 10.0

    To mount the camera:
    1) Plug in using the USB cable that comes with the camera.
    2) ls /dev to see which device it comes up as. Usually it's /dev/sda1, but
       occasionally it comes up sdb1 or sdc1, etc..
    3) # mkdir /mnt/vid
    4) # mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/vid

    Playback using mplayer:
    The .asf files created by the camera were causing errors and video distortion
    when being played with mplayer.

    Example:
    [mpeg4 @ 0x860ba80]slice end not reached but screenspace end (0 left 000000,
    score= -23)
    [mpeg4 @ 0x860ba80]concealing errors

    The following will conceal those errors and prevent the distorted video:
    $ mplayer -lavdopts bug=16 clip0001.asf
