Start Kdenlive from a console window, then try to grab video from Kdenlive. Do 
you have any message appearing in console window ?

I just committed some fixes that will make the situation slightly better.
In NTSC, Kdenlive will now use 29.97 fps with dropped frame timecode.

Monitors should now display the correct timecode, however, the rulers still 
have wrong timings. 
Let me know if monitors timecode is correct please, I don't have much NTSC 
clips to test.
