What camera models do you have?   And which 1394 controller?  (E.g.
"lspci -nn | grep 1394".)  Is the software a standard IEEE 1394 based
software like coriander, dvgrab, kino or the likes, or is it a generic
software like skype etc., or is it a custom software written by yourself?
Is the software accessing the kernel through a library or framework
(libraw1394, libdc1394, gstreamer, dv4l, ...)?
