@teledyn

Have you tried 'dvgrab', which is the command line wrapper around the kino capture facility. That way you can easily use 'sudo dvgrab' and it will use the raw iee1394 device - including starting the playback automatically on the DV device.

If this doesn't work then the problem is probably not with kino but with the underlying ieee1394 driver and you should raise a bug with that.

The patch I've put forward just allows a normal user to use capture directly from the menu rather than having to do 'gksudo kino' in a terminal.
