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| This special-purpose interface has been superseded by libraw1394 + | |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