Ok I nearly have this working now. It is currently exporting a test sequence from the footage captured from the DV CAM.
The export is taking a lot longer than I anticipated, I have encoded DVD mpeg video before at blazing speeds before (when backing up some of my more treasured film DVD's) but using the default options on kino seems to be taking ages (given that this is a pretty quick machine).
Kino didn't seem to want to capture the video from the Camera so I fell back to using dvgrab (which seems to work really well) and then importing the captured video files into kino.
Sepia effect seems to be just what I was looking for, there are some other interesting looking filters under the pipe menu that don't seem to do anything at the moment. I would like to add a film scratches filter if anyone knows of anything available.
