0001 What: video1394 (a.k.a. "OHCI-1394 Video 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/video1394/* were character device files, one for each FireWire
0006 controller, which were used for isochronous I/O. It was added as an
0007 alternative to raw1394's isochronous I/O functionality which had
0008 performance issues in its first generation. Any video1394 user had
0009 to use raw1394 + libraw1394 too because video1394 did not provide
0010 asynchronous I/O for device discovery and configuration.
0011
0012 Replaced by /dev/fw*, i.e. the <linux/firewire-cdev.h> ABI of
0013 firewire-core.

0015 Users:
0016 libdc1394 (works with firewire-cdev too, transparent to library ABI
0017 users)
