Ubuntu 10.04 didn't solve the problem. Not even this trick wasn't effective any more:

you have to add # to blacklist firewire-ohci to prevent blacklist....

was
blacklist firewire-ohci
Now
# blacklist firewire-ohci

I tried this too:

In Ubuntu 10.04

Paste this in your terminal:

echo 'KERNEL=="raw1394", GROUP="video", MODE="0664"' |
sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/50-raw1394.rules
&& sudo restart udev

If the tips in this guide do not work please file a bug in launchpad against Kino.

So, here we are.

This was uneffective as well:

By the way, this bug pops up every now and then while it is actually several years old! Ubuntu / Kino should detect the Camera and ask (for security reasons) whether this found device should be connected.

For some reason the Ubuntu team is not so eager to solve this issue. They really should while there is no simple and proposed solution for capturing video from a camcorder.
