Probably sound advice.. I did notice that the newest stuff turning up
in those searches is 2007, most is older.

A question about something I see here using the little driver tool
that is on the desktop in a new install or at 
  Applications/system tools/device driver utility

The tool shows the 1394 hub, but `hci1394' as driver

pkg search on both av1394 and hci1394 shows them in different
packages.  (both installed here)

Do you know if that driver (hci1394) should be capable of video
capture?
