(Replying to my own post....)

A new release of Kino (the editor [and GUI DV-grabber]) and 'dvgrab' (the 
command-line DV-grabber tool) were released just yesterday. Here's an excerpt 
from the site:

------------------------------

Kino 1.2.0 and dvgrab 3.1 released 

These are mainly just maintenance releases. See the download page to fetch 
them. Kino's Titler can now write metadata such as timecode, recording 
date/time, and more. dvgrab has improved HDV handling and major regression 
with pipe output fixed.
