HDV (MPEG2-TS) support was added in dvgrab 3.0, released in August 2007.
Before that, mpg1394grab or test-mpeg2 had to be used for HDV.

Does dvgrab work with previous version of Ubuntu before 8.04 or before

That's good information.
It wasn't available at the site where I got the link from.
Do you have some links for this (kind of) good recent technical
information - I like to keep up to date?
