[mythtv] New ieee1394 code and DCT-6200

[Todd Tidwell]

Thanks.  I'm pretty sure I've got the latest firewire drivers, but I'll
verify.  I do know I'm running the CVS trunk versions of libraw1394 and
libiec61883 as well as the latest version of libavc1394.

I'm assuming that if I have to upgrade the firewire drivers that its going
to take a kernel rebuild?

I would verify you have the most updated firewire driver for your kernel 
version (2.4/2.6).  If the issue persists I would take it up with the 
linux firewire guys.  The mythtv firewire code makes the same library 
calls as test-mpeg2.
