| 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| This special-purpose interface has been superseded by libraw1394 + |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) |
