Sometimes I will cc the mailing list when it is something suitable for all.

Do not use libdv, just use avformat with pipe: for input. If you want
to capture and preview at the same time:

$ dvgrab mycapture - | melt pipe: -consumer sdl real_time=0

If you just want to put the stream into mlt, then leave out "mycapture"

This works for DV and HDV. The consumer real_time=0 option prevents
some weird video playout timing issue (pauses and then speeds up).
There are other issues with HDV. The A/V sync is way off, and if you
stop the tape, rewind, etc. the stream might stop playing. ffplay has
the same issues - seems to be a problem in libavformat. When I make a
firewire producer (started), I hope I can prevent some of these
issues.
