I’m glad you sort of made it work! Interactive camera controls are
indeed behind the -i option in dvgrab. And you’re right, dvgrab can’t
edit, it’s just an acquisition tool.
I tried Kino some 10 years ago. I remember being a bit frustrated by
frequent crashes and editing oddities. Your recommandation made me
curious so I just checked Kino’s website. The last news dates back from
2013 and reads:

In the last years I’ve been using Openshot for simple editing. It proved
quite reliable. I also have an eye on PiTiVi but it still crashes too
often on me. I haven’t tried the others in the list. For more complex
stuff I managed to finish a couple of projects with Cinelerra, which
could be worth considering as an option too.
Cheers,
Victor
