Recording from digital video camera

[crazychicken]

I am trying to get the video from a digital 8 tape into an avi file or equivalent. I have the camera plugged into my computer with a firewire cable. What is some easy free software to record the video?

Thanks,

Dave

Is there any way to do it faster than real time? It seems like it's already digital, so there shouldn't be any reason to do it so slow?
