Hi,

The only outstanding issue I see to finally get DV (Digital Video) capture
working right out of the box on Fedora is having the proper modules being
loaded when a camera is connected (through firewire). There is a bit more
detail in this bug report :

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=172105

What would the solution be? Add something like this to modprobe.conf :

alias char-major-171-* video1394 (or just raw1394, which seems sufficient)

Or maybe now in a file inside modprobe.d belonging to some DV package?
