Comment 1 for bug 155480

I get this too. Kino captures ok and can control my Sony DCR-HC36 no problem (when started by "sudo kino") but I read that KDEnlive was a better program.
When I first installed and ran KDEnlive the capture panel said I needed dvgrab which I got from synaptic, but then after the re-checking process, any of the capture buttons produce the error.
