Nice Link.
Thanks Stefan.

Does dvgrab work with previous version of Ubuntu before 8.04 or before
kernel 2.6.23 ?

The reason I ask is that backports are only done "after" there is a version 
made for the recent versions of Ubuntu.
Backports (I am told by Launchpad) are not possible, if no package has been 
added in a more recent version.

So if mpg1394, does not work in recent versions (but does in previous 
versions), then it will not be allowed to be made as a backport.
But if dvgrab does not do the same job in previous versions, as mpg1394grab 
does, then previous version will miss out on the functionality.

Note
===
There are some other useful utilities on that link which I am making some 
package requests for - e.g. DV4L
I thought I had made a suggestion for a package that does something similar to 
this, but it doesn't show on a search of launchpad or ubuntu packages.
This will be very handy because tehre are a number of good programs that use 
v4l but don't have (till these utilities) any way of using DV video.
