Bug Description

Binary package hint: kino

What happens
* I've learned that Kino can capture from my DV camera so I install it
* I try to capture but Kino gives the familiar warning "WARNING: raw1394 kernel module not loaded or failure to read/write /dev/raw1394!" (see bug#6290 and others)
* Nothing is captured

What I expected to happen
* I try to capture over ieee1394 (Firewire) with Kino
* Kino checks for the dvgrab package which is needed before capture is possible. If it's missing I get a notice explaining that it needs to be installed.
