What: dv1394 driver (CONFIG_IEEE1394_DV1394)
When: June 2007
Why: Replaced by raw1394 + userspace libraries, notably libiec61883. This
shift of application support has been indicated on www.linux1394.org
and developers' mailinglists for quite some time. Major applications
have been converted, with the exception of ffmpeg and hence xine.
Piped output of dvgrab2 is a partial equivalent to dv1394.
Who: Dan Dennedy <dan@dennedy.org>, Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>
---------------------------
What: Video4Linux API 1 ioctls and video_decoder.h from Video devices.
When: December 2006
Why: V4L1 AP1 was replaced by V4L2 API. during migration from 2.4 to 2.6

This driver allows you to transmit and receive DV (digital video)
streams on an OHCI-1394 card using a simple frame-oriented
interface.
The user-space API for dv1394 is documented in dv1394.h.
To compile this driver as a module, say M here: the
module will be called dv1394.
The dv1394 driver will be removed from Linux in a future release.
Its functionality is now provided by raw1394 together with libraries
such as libiec61883.
