+What: dv1394 driver (CONFIG_IEEE1394_DV1394)
+When: June 2007
+Why: Replaced by raw1394 + userspace libraries, notably libiec61883. This
+ shift of application support has been indicated on www.linux1394.org
+ and developers' mailinglists for quite some time. Major applications
+ have been converted, with the exception of ffmpeg and hence xine.
+ Piped output of dvgrab2 is a partial equivalent to dv1394.
+Who: Dan Dennedy <dan@dennedy.org>, Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

+---------------------------

What: Video4Linux API 1 ioctls and video_decoder.h from Video devices.
When: December 2006
Why: V4L1 AP1 was replaced by V4L2 API. during migration from 2.4 to 2.6

- 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
+ such as libiec61883.
