The big application I see for DV-input support isn't camcorder-capture or editing, but to support component->DV dongles for HD input.  I haven't yet found a dongle that does YPrPb->MPEG2ts, but YPrPb->DV seems pretty common, and it seems they could come in awfully handy for HD cable boxes that don't want to cough up digital outputs.  

Granted, software-compressing HD-DV would still be a bitch and a half, but it'd be better than nothing. 

Comments?  Am I missing something?
