+What:          dv1394 (a.k.a. "OHCI-DV I/O support" for FireWire)
+Date:          May 2010 (scheduled), finally removed in kernel v2.6.37
+Contact:       linux1394-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
+Description:
+       /dev/dv1394/* were character device files, one for each FireWire
+       controller and for NTSC and PAL respectively, from which DV data
+       could be received by read() or transmitted by write().  A few
+       ioctl()s allowed limited control.
+       This special-purpose interface has been superseded by libraw1394 +
+       libiec61883 which are functionally equivalent, support HDV, and
+       transparently work on top of the newer firewire kernel drivers.
