View source for V4L IEEE1394 devices

The [[Development:_Video4Linux_APIs|V4L API]] in itself does not support any [[IEEE1394]] (also known as Firewire or i.Link) devices.  However, in the case of some devices, V4L applications can obtain access to video via ieee1394, using either a [[Loopback|loopback]] or LD_PRELOAD method.

== via Loopback ==
* V4L with ieee1394 camcorders: 
** using DV4Linux's [http://dv4l.berlios.de dv4l]
** using [http://www.kinodv.org/ dvgrab] and [http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/Dv2Vloopback dv2vloopback]
* V4L with ieee1394 cameras: 
** using [http://damien.douxchamps.net/ieee1394/coriander/index.php Coriander] 

== via LD_PRELOAD==
* V4L with ieee1394 camcorders:
** using DV4Linux's [http://dv4l.berlios.de dv4lstart]
