...(i.e. HDV) and can divert it into files or into stdout and hence to a pipe by using a - as trailing command line parameter. I.e. it can do everything which mpg1394grab can do and much more than that, is practically as simple to use, and is still maintained.

mpg1394grab on the other hand uses an old kernel interface which is no longer available in linux kernel 2.6.23 and later and has also been removed from libraw1394 v2.

Due to the kernel interface issue, mpg1394grab is unusable in Ubuntu 8.04 and later.
