Problem with Kino

I've just installed the program Kino, but cannot capture video with a webcam; in Edit>Preferences I see the following message:

The IEEE 1394 Subsystem is not responding.
The raw1394 module must be loaded, and you must have read and write access to /dev/raw1394.

As I've only just switched from Windows to Ubuntu, I don't really understand how to do this. I found a file "raw1394.ko", and tried to run the command "sudo chmod" to make sure it allowed read and write access, but that didn't help, and I'm not even sure I did the command correctly.

Also, the terminal says that there is no such directory "/dev/raw1394".

Can anyone help?
