Jeff, that's evidently a very old version of dvgrab. File a bug for the dvgrab package --- it should be updated to version 2.1.

Yes, the dv1394 driver will eventually vanish. But there is no date set for its removal yet; it depends on how fast the new alternative FireWire stack which was merged in Linux 2.6.22 and the respective userland support will reach maturity. The unsupported isochronous request types in raw1394 that dvgrab 1.x can use alternatively to dvgrab1394 will be unavailable from Linux 2.6.23 onwards.

Dvgrab 2.x as well as reasonably recent Kino versions use only supported libraw1394 calls.

Dan, the link to dvgrab-2.1.tgz on the Download page at www.kinodv.org is mistakenly titled "dvgrab-1.2.tar.gz".
