What: dv1394 (a.k.a. "OHCI-DV I/O support" for FireWire)
|
Date: May 2010 (scheduled), finally removed in kernel v2.6.37

Contact: linux1394-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
|
Description:
|
/dev/dv1394/* were character device files, one for each FireWire
|
controller and for NTSC and PAL respectively, from which DV data
|
could be received by read() or transmitted by write(). A few
|
ioctl()s allowed limited control.
|
This special-purpose interface has been superseded by libraw1394 +
|
libiec61883 which are functionally equivalent, support HDV, and
|
transparently work on top of the newer firewire kernel drivers.
|
|
Users:
|
ffmpeg/libavformat (if configured for DV1394)
