Other thoughts

Have you tried dvgrab from the command line eg

dvgrab --dv1394 /dev/raw1394

or have you looked under

/dev/ieee1394/dv/hostX/

and try passing that as the --dv1394 parameter


Also it might be a permissions problem.

Depending on your distro you may wish to start dvgrab as root

either directly (but this won't always work due to xserver permissions)
or via kdesu eg

kdesu dvgrab

that will prompt for root password but allow app to run on your xsession.
