Capture, in general, is very platform-specific technology. So, that
functionality is a long ways off unfortunately.

Right now, I know there is some general instability, and I am working
on it. However, there is one thing that I can not reproduce that
another kdenlive developer reported. Just add a clip to the Project
tree,  add it to the timeline, and then see if it plays for you. Also,
see if the monitor updates by just scrubbing/seeking. Choose a format
that we know works rather well now like DV or something based on
MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 (including H.264). It works for me - for Marco, it
does not.
