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

-	  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
