- This driver allows you to transmit and receive DV (digital video)
- streams on an OHCI-1394 card using a simple frame-oriented
- interface.

- The user-space API for dv1394 is documented in dv1394.h.

- To compile this driver as a module, say M here: the
- module will be called dv1394.
+ The dv1394 driver will be removed from Linux in a future release.
+ Its functionality is now provided by raw1394 together with libraries
