Which software to copy and edit video from MiniDV camcorder



I want to copy video recordings from my MiniDV camcorder to a Linux
machine, edit it, convert it to MPEG2, and burn it to DVD.  What
software is available in Debian for these tasks.  I have read
something about kino, installed it, but it seems to be quite
instable.

After starting and clicking on "Capture", kino crashes in >90% of all
cases with the following message (I have also included the last lines
of kino output on its terminal):

>>> Using iec61883 capture
>>> iec61883Reader::StartThread on port 0
>> Trying XVideo at 720x576
>>> XvQueryAdaptors count: 1
>>> Xv: ATI Radeon Video Overlay: ports 65 - 65
>>> formats supported: 8
>>>     0x41424752 (RGBA) packed
>>>     0x0 () packed
>>>     0x54424752 (RGBT) packed
>>>     0x32424752 (RGB2) packed
>>>     0x32595559 (YUY2) packed
>>>     0x59565955 (UYVY) packed
>>>     0x32315659 (YV12) planar
>>>     0x30323449 (I420) planar
>>> 0: XV_IMAGE, 2048x2048 rate = 1/1
The program 'kino' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)'.
  (Details: serial 6520 error_code 10 request_code 143 minor_code 1)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

A few times I was able to get past this point and control the camera,
i.e. I could click "play" and "stop" and the camera reacted
accordingly, I was also able to capture some scenes.  However, rewind
and fast forward did not work.  Also, in most cases kino will stop at
some point with a message, similar to the above.

Have other users similar experiences or are there other packages which
I should look at?
