The V4L API in itself does not support any FireWire devices. However, in the case of some devices, V4L applications can obtain access to video via Firewire, using either a loopback or LD_PRELOAD method.
via Loopback
- V4L with Firewire camcorders:
- using DV4Linux's dv4l
- using dvgrab and dv2vloopback
- V4L with IEEE1394 cameras:
- using Coriander
via LD_PRELOAD
- V4L with Firewire camcorders:
- using DV4Linux's dv4lstart
