Kino has not supported video1394 for years. You are meaning dv1394 when you write video1394. Also, why do you think I did not enable that option by default? The answer is that it imposes major usability issues. The new firewire subsystem and libraw1394 2.0 have resolved the security issue with

Jeff, that's evidently a very old version of dvgrab. File a bug for the dvgrab package --- it should be updated to version 2.1. Yes, the dv1394 driver will eventually vanish. But there is no date set for its removal yet; it depends on how fast the new alternative FireWire stack which was merged

A note on /dev/raw1394's security implications: 1. You cannot access local memory through raw1394, except for ROMs and CSRs that are exposed to other nodes any way. 2. It is extremely hard to manipulate data on attached SBP-2 devices (FireWire storage devices). 3. You can disturb operation of

Yeah, linux1394 was late to the udev game, and I suspect the kernel name will be a popular default for udev rule makers. I believe Dapper will be a popular version for quite a while. Oh well, I will consider changing the Kino default dv1394 device name or simply try a few popular names in addition

We can consider the device name change for edgy, I suspect the only reason we don't name them that is that nobody else did at the time we froze our udev rules. I'm against the idea of a group just for one device node, a firewire group could be added and all *1394 devices placed into that though;
