In dapper I used /dev/raw1394, but with the group set to 'video' in /etc/udev/rules.d/40-40-permissions.rules . (I don't use firewire for anything else.)
After a dist-upgrade to edgy, kino's capture no longer worked. (Oddly, dvgrab did.) Changing the device used by kino (Edit -> Preferences -> IEE 1394) from /dev/raw1394 to /dev/dv1394/0 solved the problem. The camera controls work OK. I think it's the old video1394 interface that had problems with dv cameras, and the dv1394 interface was written to solve them, AIUI. -- Kino (0.9.0) defaults to use /dev/raw1394 but Ubuntu uses /dev/dv1394/0 https://launchpad.net/bugs/67818 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
