Hello!

Thanks, for this. I now own a hdv camera, so I can test on my own files, but 
thanks anyways, can be usefull.

I myself have a Sony HVR-V1 and successfully imported my images with a patched 
dvgrab. I never noticed the crash you mentionned, but maybe I always played a 
few seconds of the tape before grabbing.

The dvgrab patch was delevopped by Dan Streetman as a proof of concept, and it 
is known to segfault on Ctrl-C, but the files should be ok. A cleaner 
implementation of HDV for dvgrab is currently being worked on (see: 
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=31300102&forum_id=5545 )

I will anyways try to make some test with the broken file you provided.

Thanks a lot. Congratulations should go to the FFMPEG team and MLT developers 
who made a fantastic job with the video framework behind Kdenlive. There is 
currently no way to make donations now, but I think if we can gather some 
money, the best would probably be to check with the MLT guys to see if that 
would help them, because a lot of work has still to be done in MLT to add new 
effects, full HDV support and more...
