"ecause Kino uses dvgrab to capture video, you'll either need to run it as root, tweak permissions for the 1394 device, or add your user to the video group. The last method is the preferred solution, as the first two may create insecurity. If you're running Ubuntu 7.04, you'll also need to edit /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules to change the line that begins KERNEL=="raw1394" to end with GROUP="video" instead of GROUP="disk". You may need to log out and log back in for the changes to take effect. "
