Are there any error messages appearing in Kino? You need the raw1394 
kernel module loaded with the correct permissions to grab from dv IIRC. 
Add raw1394 to

/etc/modules

then, in

/etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules

change the GROUP part of the line starting with KERNEL=="raw1394", to 
"video"

Editing both those files has to be done as root (using sudo). This 
solved all my problems.
