Tried this using a V4L device. VLC worked, KDENLive did not. Not
intuitive at all that recording video is done from the monitor
section. Not helpful that the help button gives "Not found". And
http://userbase.kde.org/Kdenlive/Manual/Capturing gives less than
helpful info. I don't have a dvgrab (FW) device to try, but V4L has
huge latency... this may be libav. There seem to to be issues with
regard to libav/ffmpeg and how they are compiled for doing screen
capture too.


is the latency a big issue in that situation?

Latency seems to be camera related. A newer camera has a much better responce time. Same software, different computer. Not sure if anything else had anything to do with it. When I buy one that is not taped to my wife's computer I can try other machines. Still having trouble getting kdenlive to record video though. It seems to play ok, but when I hit record there is about 1/2 to 1 sec of video then kdenlive freezes. The file is created but is zero length.
