I have found a workaround: 1. rmmod [all modules with 1394 in their names] 2. modprobe dv1394 3. rmmod eth1394 (because it doesn't play well with dv) 4. start your dv-capturing application And just in case anyone wants to know: 1. I still couldn't get cinelerra to capture dv without freezing (but then the latest version wouldn't build for me). 2. Ekiga's dv support works, but with some serious limitations.
