I don't know much about digital - I'm still working with analogue and 
mjpegtools - but on the mjpegtools web pages there is a diagram showing how 
analogue and digital fit together, because some of the editing can be done in 
the same way as I work. The recommendation there is that digital camcorders 
be captured with firewire and kino.  That makes me wonder whether your camera 
and computer are actually talking to each other.

My advice would be to test whether you can get the camcorder to play into 
xawtv or similar package.  If you can watch and monitor the output there you 
should be OK to capture in kino.  If you can't, it may be a connection or 
interfacing problem.
