The best solution for the moment is to simply recapture some of the footage as 
raw dv, or export it in kino as raw dv. This situation should improve for the 
next release though ;-)

Ok, I have refrained from allowing the email on to the kdenlive list because 
it was 500K in size :-) but thanks for sending it to me, as I realize that 
piave does send an error message stating that it has processed the file, but  
kdenlive doesn't yet process it. Oops!
