Hi.

The capture process in Kdenlive uses dvgrab. You need dvgrab version 2.0. 
Maybe you have an older version ?

Basically if capture works with the command line dvgrab, I see no reason why 
it would not work in Kdenlive.

Capture files are written to the KDE user temporary folder which is usually 
in:
~/.kde/tmp-username-desktop

There, Kdenlive creates a folder called dvcapture where it stores the files. 
After the capture, they are copied to the project default folder or deleted 
if the user does not want to keep them.

Hope it helps
