Yes. I have had some trouble with it (dvgrab refusing to find the
camera), but I blamed that on the camera. Unplugging and re-plugging in
the firewire cable tended to do the trick.
There was a point when I couldn't get dvgrab to work, but it worked
every time when I ran it under strace, so there could be timing issues.
Unfortunately, I can only give these anecdotes and can't really help
you, the DV camera was stolen last week and I don't think I'll get
another one.
