        Ah, super - sounds like another satisfied convert :)

        I think it depends which kernel/distribution you're using - if it's
        /devfs or not.

        You might poke around the Kino forums:

        http://kino.schirmacher.de

        in particular the dcforum:

        http://kino.schirmacher.de/dcforum

http://kino.schirmacher.de/dcforum/dcforum?az=show_topic&forum=101&topic_id=2714&mesg_id=2714&page=

        It appears that you need to use a device name of the form (and I have
        seen this in Kino's preferences/setup):

mknod -m 666 /dev/ieee1394/dv/host0/PAL/out c 171 35

        Don't worry about the PAL - the mode of the device is switched with an
        ioctl() call (I found a comment to that effect elsewhere in the 
        forums).

        Looks like the key module to have loaded is "dv1394".   For capturing
        I know 'raw1394' is used/required.

        I don't think mplayer knows how to export data over an IEEE1394 wire.

        Hmmm, 'bout the only thing I can suggest is joining one of the Kino/dvgrab
        forums (or searching them ;)) to see how others are have done it.  I'm
        certain it can be done - it's just not something I've had a need to 
        do (yet).

        Cheers,
