libraw1394 is written to use it. Kino uses libraw1394; it does not access the kernel directly.

Please describe in what way DV capture is broken.

Also please attach the output of dmesg that contains messages from firewire.ohci and firewire-core
  - from when the OHCI-1394 host controller is initialized,
  - from when the camcorder is plugged in/ switched on,
  - from when Kino is started.
