1What: video1394 (a.k.a. "OHCI-1394 Video support" for FireWire) 2Date: May 2010 (scheduled), finally removed in kernel v2.6.37 3Contact: linux1394-devel@lists.sourceforge.net 4Description: 5 /dev/video1394/* were character device files, one for each FireWire 6 controller, which were used for isochronous I/O. It was added as an 7 alternative to raw1394's isochronous I/O functionality which had 8 performance issues in its first generation. Any video1394 user had 9 to use raw1394 + libraw1394 too because video1394 did not provide 10 asynchronous I/O for device discovery and configuration. 11 12 Replaced by /dev/fw*, i.e. the <linux/firewire-cdev.h> ABI of 13 firewire-core. 14 15Users: 16 libdc1394 (works with firewire-cdev too, transparent to library ABI 17 users)
