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?
No, hci1394 is a host controller driver, not a target driver. If you're
familiar with USB, hci1394 is functionally similar to ehci or uhci, i.e.
they are not for application use, but rather provide generic bus
services for other drivers. When you plug a device into a port, the host
controller driver will enumerate it and try to find a driver that
matches that device. In case of DV camcorders, that driver is av1394.
av1394 provides an API for capturing audio/video streams. The API is
described in the iec61883(7I) man page.
