1What:		dv1394 (a.k.a. "OHCI-DV I/O support" for FireWire)
2Date:		May 2010 (scheduled), finally removed in kernel v2.6.37
3Contact:	linux1394-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
4Description:
5	/dev/dv1394/* were character device files, one for each FireWire
6	controller and for NTSC and PAL respectively, from which DV data
7	could be received by read() or transmitted by write().  A few
8	ioctl()s allowed limited control.
9	This special-purpose interface has been superseded by libraw1394 +
10	libiec61883 which are functionally equivalent, support HDV, and
11	transparently work on top of the newer firewire kernel drivers.
