For any related feedback, I would reply to this list for obvious reasons.

Yes, I am aware of this. If you check my history on this list, you would
find my threads usually complete and closed.

I did read your suggesting, however, I haven't been able to try it due
to the unavailability of the laptop for me. However, I note that in your
message you merely suggest trying digikam without giving any hints of
your own experience with it. If you are familiar with digikam dealing
with raw dv files, it would be nice to know why you suggested it (the
same way I listed my experience with dvgrab command in my first post in
this thread). It helps to increase the value and reliability of help
posts here.

Based on what I know about digikam in KDE, I would expect it not to deal
with raw dv video files. IIRC it is an application to manage digital
photos. So, given this and the lack of any pertinent explanation in your
post, I, frankly, was not expecting much. I am willing to give it a try
nevertheless, especially if you confirm that you were successful in a
similar situation.

Regards.
