[Bug 46393] Re: raw1394 wrong group for kino/dv camera capture

[Dan Dennedy]

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 6290 ***

dv1394 does not implement the camera control protocol. libavc1394, which
uses raw1394 does. Why? Well, it is a matter of these being different
protocol from differing standards bodies and the history of their
implementations. It is still possible to capture and export when all you
have access to is dv1394 by manually controlling the device. However,
usage of dv1394 is not as friendly when you have more than one 1394
interface on the system.

Still, having access to raw1394 is much nicer, and most users will
prefer it. Has it not occurred to anyone else but me that you can create
a _new_ grouped named "raw1394" ?!

Finally, in the other bug, I suggested Ubuntu follow the dv1394 naming
convention as established on linux1394.org FAQ topic on udev. This also
affords some backwards compatibility with Debian kernel 2.4 and it did
not use devfs and setup dv1394 as /dev/dv1394/%n.
