Sorry Dan - I meant dv1394.

I'm back at the familiar message: "WARNING: raw1394 kernel module not loaded or failure to read/write /dev/raw1394

My first guess is that this is because someone forgot to set the flag needed during the build to enable support for /dev/dv1394/0 (in the video group) which is not enabled by default... by default there is only access to /dev/raw1394 (in the disc group) which we've agreed is not the best solution for most users.

Running Kino as root does not (strangely) get around this problem. I get the same error messages plus one about no camera being detected. It just switches between them.
