Videocamera and Ubuntu

[PaulNL]

Hello all

I have a Medion camcorder with a DV-out, that I had (previously) connected to a Windows machine, on the windows machine i can connect true USB.

Now I have a Ubuntu 9.04 laptop and it will not recognize the camera.

The command lsusb I see the camera either. Now my question (s)

1. this camera,can i connect it with USB?
2. how can I install this
3. I do manage that, what software can I use best. ?

This is a Medion MD9035
