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 A few 8 ioctl()s allowed limited control. 9 This special-purpose interface has been superseded by libraw1394 + 10 libiec61883 which are functionally equivalent, support HDV, and 11 transparently work on top of the newer firewire kernel drivers. 12 13Users: 14 ffmpeg/libavformat (if configured for DV1394) 15
