Hello. I don't really understand the details of MLT's architecture, but wouldn't it be possible to write an MLT consumer for libiec61883 (http://www.linux1394.org/) ?
If not possible, and unless someone on this list feels ready to improve the ffmpeg/avformat dv support as Dan suggested, we should probably use libiec61883 from kdenlive for firewire export and import. The library has some nice examples showing how to do this... Of course, an MLT solution would be better since it's the only way we could get firewire preview... regards Jean-Baptiste
