0001 What: dv1394 (a.k.a. "OHCI-DV I/O support" for FireWire)
0002 Date: May 2010 (scheduled), finally removed in kernel v2.6.37
0003 Contact: linux1394-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
0004 Description:
0005 /dev/dv1394/* were character device files, one for each FireWire
0006 controller and for NTSC and PAL respectively, from which DV data
0007 could be received by read() or transmitted by write(). A few
0008 ioctl()s allowed limited control.
0009 This special-purpose interface has been superseded by libraw1394 +
0010 libiec61883 which are functionally equivalent, support HDV, and
0011 transparently work on top of the newer firewire kernel drivers.
