4*66fa12c5SStefan RichterDescription:
5*66fa12c5SStefan Richter	/dev/dv1394/* were character device files, one for each FireWire
6*66fa12c5SStefan Richter	controller and for NTSC and PAL respectively, from which DV data
7*66fa12c5SStefan Richter	could be received by read() or transmitted by write().  A few
8*66fa12c5SStefan Richter	ioctl()s allowed limited control.
9*66fa12c5SStefan Richter	This special-purpose interface has been superseded by libraw1394 +
10*66fa12c5SStefan Richter	libiec61883 which are functionally equivalent, support HDV, and
11*66fa12c5SStefan Richter	transparently work on top of the newer firewire kernel drivers.
