Digital Editing Software on Linux

[Jim Herrmann]

So, is DVGrab integrated into Kino?  That's not clear to me.  You use DVGrab 
from a command line to save video off to an AVI file, right?  How do you know 
you are actually recording?  Is there some feedback?  Can you see the video, 
or do you have to wait until it's captured?

Thanks for the input and the links.  I've been keeping my eye on this, but 
haven't jumped in yet.

Peace,
Jim
