 It's rather obscure, and quite deprecated since libiec61883 came

It must be linked with libraw1394

 Not part of the binary package.  It's one of the "examples" in the
source package.  You can install and build that.  Not much to it. :-)

 Nor do I.  About time to suggest the patch to the developers of
dvgrab, or create a hdvgrab "fork".
