I need some help, please.
I have just recently found Kdenlive, most impressive. Have installed the latest version from http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/tutorials/7064/1/ so am up to date.
Using Ubu 9.10. Have throughly checked my system, read all I can off this site, but in spite of my efforts still cannot connect to the camera.
I do know the system is loaded correctly as I can use dvgrab to download a file, it also works on Windows. I really would like to get out of the clutches of Adobe and their high priced upgrades, but need Kdenlive to achieve this.
Could someone please take pity on a ubernewbie Ubuntu user and give me some advice.

Maybe this thread can help:
http://kdenlive.org/forum/dv-capture

Tried the thread, followed where I could, but got a lot of errors in Terminal. My knowledge doesn't extend that far.
Now I have an error after trying dvgrab "Error...No camera exists"
Prior to following that thread I could use dvgrab, now that has gone!!!
Help, please.

What exactly did you do?
And what were the errors you got?

I tried to follow the thread suggestions. Came to the chmod permissions entry, then it fell apart, the programme froze and I had did a reboot to clear the problem.
It did install a lib file, but I lost the name when the system froze.
I am thinking of removing Kdenlive complete, then do a reinstall see if that will fix the problem.
Comments?

Disregard. I went onto Ubuntu Forums found the answer. A lack of permissions fixed the problem. Thanks for the help!
