		What: dv1394 (a.k.a. "OHCI-DV I/O support" for FireWire)
		Contact: linux1394-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
		Description:
		New application development should use raw1394 + userspace libraries
		instead, notably libiec61883 which is functionally equivalent.

		Users:
		ffmpeg/libavformat (used by a variety of media players)
		dvgrab v1.x (replaced by dvgrab2 on top of raw1394 and resp. libraries)

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		This special-purpose interface has been superseded by libraw1394 +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

		What: raw1394 (a.k.a. "Raw IEEE1394 I/O support" for FireWire)
		Date: May 2010 (scheduled), finally removed in kernel v2.6.37
		Contact: linux1394-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
		Description:
		/dev/raw1394 was a character device file that allowed low-level
		access to FireWire buses. Its major drawbacks were its inability
		to implement sensible device security policies, and its low level
		of abstraction that required userspace clients do duplicate much
		of the kernel's ieee1394 core functionality.
		Replaced by /dev/fw*, i.e. the <linux/firewire-cdev.h> ABI of
		firewire-core.

		Users:
		libraw1394 (works with firewire-cdev too, transparent to library ABI
		users)
