Kino's 0.9.0 source release already defaults to /dev/dv1394/0 for some time. See line 188 on this page:
http://kino.cvs.sourceforge.net/kino/kino/src/preferences.cc?revision=1.53&view=markup&pathrev=V_0_9_0 Are you certain you are not seeing your saved preference (~/.kinorc)? If not, then is Debian or Ubuntu appying a patch to mistakenly change the default? Please do not bother to submit a patch to Kino for anything related to dv1394 because I will not accept it. dv1394 support will soon be removed. dv1394 was written to overcome problems with video1394, but it has been superceded by newer interfaces in raw1394. "In Ubuntu for many reason, not least security, raw1394 cannot be accessed for normal users...." Yes, security is a problem, and it is being addressed--some draft patches already submitted and discussed pending finalization. However, security is the *only* reason--NOT "for many reason." -- Kino (0.9.0) defaults to use /dev/raw1394 but Ubuntu uses /dev/dv1394/0 https://launchpad.net/bugs/67818 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
