I understand that FreeBSD supports firewire controllers that conform to the OHCI spec (basically, all of them), but it seems that it really is only useful for SBP2 which is just hard drives. Is there any support for video, yet or planned? Also, if firewire is like usb, then isn't it possible to do video transfers without any kernel-level drivers needed? Another related question is if FreeBSD has any libraries like Linux's libdv and libavc. If not, then would it be good to try and port them or provide a compatible api for supporting video? --=20 I sense much NT in you. NT leads to Bluescreen. Bluescreen leads to downtime. Downtime leads to suffering. NT is the path to the darkside. Powerful Unix is.
