I run from source but I'm able to record with 100% reliability over
firewire. It probably should be noted that I only use the old analog
channels (below 100) and not any of the digital channels.
 00:0c.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): VIA Technologies, Inc. IEEE 1394 Host
Controller (rev 46)
 I have libiec61883 installed (no idea the version, its all source and
relatively old)
libraw1394-1.2.0
libavc1394-0.5.0
gscanbus-0.7.1
kernel 2.6.8.1 <http://2.6.8.1>
 You shouldn't need all of that but its working so I haven't done any house
cleaning. I do remember that I had to change my node ID manually when I
first started using MythTV with firewire, but that seems to have been fixed.
