[Bug 6290] Re: No rights by default to import video from a Firewire device

[Martin Pitt]

@Alan: adding your user to group 'disk' essentially means that you are working as root, so every program that you run can potentially tamper with your whole system (see my previous comment).

I have no idea about kino itself, but it should be fixed to use /dev/video1394.

** Summary changed:

- No rights by default to import video from a Firewire device
+ use /dev/video1394, not /dev/raw1394

** Bug 35693 has been marked a duplicate of this bug
