Getting Kino to work with a DV camera input

On my Ubuntu Studio workstation, I've added in a generic DV capture card, one with a firewire (1394) interface on it. Getting it to work with kino, however has proven to be somewhat of a pain. This is mostly here now for my own recollection in the future.

This worked for me. I cannot say it will work for anybody else, nor do I even begin to claim to have any "how-to" suggestions beyond what you read here and now. So here is how I got it to work:

• Connect camcorder's DV output to the DV capture card, and power up the camcorder
• Reboot the workstation with the camera powered up
• After reboot, log on as ordinary user
• Fire up a terminal session
• Issue the following commands:
modprobe raw1394
gksudo kino

• Yes, this means it has to run as root. You will likely be prompted to re-enter your credentials, so do it.
• Kino will fire up. Under Edit > Preferences > IEEE 1394, you should now see your DV device.
• It still took some fiddling around with the display settings and what-not, but the device will work if you keep at it.

And that's how I got it to work.
