HI

I just discovered kdenlive tool and have been using kino since Ubuntu 10.10 .

Does Kdenlive 15.18.0 that comes in Official Ubuntu Apps repository supports Firewire capture mode?

There is no Video Capture mode/Menu in kdenlive tab but there is firewire configuration menu for grabing video via firewire using dvgrab .

When i launch kino its perfect grabing video via firewire ?

What I did so far ?

1. Removed the Official Ubuntu PPA version ?
2. Installed kdenlive from kdenlive.org ( V17.04.1 ) https://kdenlive.org/download/
3 Removed 2. and reinstalled 1.

Looks like the official repository on Ubuntu seems to have FW Capure settings but does not work.

Installing from kdenlive.org seems to remove all firewire settings ?

Just need to know if kdenlive 15.x onwards no longer support Firewire capture so i can stop trouble shooting .

Much appreciated
don
