Did you fully read and understand
http://www.linux1394.org/video1394.html?
In particular, note the major/minor numbers of the /dev/video1394 device
file. Also, make sure you have permission to read and write the device
file. If you have tried both combinations of major/minor numbers for
/dev/video1394, have permissions, and have loaded video1394, then I do
not have any other suggestion. Check the output of dmesg for messages
too.
