Yes. I have the kubuntu package which is 1.8. I will compile/build 2.0.

Yes... Fixed.
It will now use temporary folder defined in Kdenlive Settings -> Misc

I saw that you already changed this. Thanks for your extreme quick 
reaction and user-friendliness. I have never seen that quick responses 
and reactions on "that other operating system".

So I downloaded/compiled dvgrab-2.1 and compiled the newest Kdenlive svn 
and it works: However, one bummer. The files are stored in the temporary 
folder. After grabbing, Kdenlive asks to process the captured files (or 
continue). When I press "process..", the files are first (!) copied to 
the home directory. If it really is a lot of video (say 12GB), you still 
might have a problem. Maybe it's better to ask the user where to copy 
the files (via a popup?).
Even so: Many thanks for your work.


Kind regards,
Harry
