dvgrab stops early for me too (when I tried it the last time), but I can
successfully work around that by means of the -noavc option.

Dan had a suggestion for me what I should check in the dvgrab source to
narrow down my problem, but I didn't spend the time to do that yet.

I've got a low-end JVC camcorder, x86-64 Linux (haven't tried x86-32 for
a while but could do so), and the issue is present with raw1394 (i.e.
old drivers) as well as firewire-core (new drivers).
