I have a Sony DCR TRV-8E, and it works when the linux firewire subsystem 
doesn't crash...

While we're mentioning AVC, I have had regular reports about inverted 
colors (see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=343408 )... they 
still came in after I committed a fix long ago, then disappeared, so 
perhaps this issue is dead.
