+   **   DV1394 API   **
+   **                **
+   ********************
+
+   There are two methods of operating the DV1394 DV output device.
+
+   1)
+
+   The simplest is an interface based on write(): simply write
+   full DV frames of data to the device, and they will be transmitted
+   as quickly as possible. The FD may be set for non-blocking I/O,
+   in which case you can use select() or poll() to wait for output
+   buffer space.
+
+   To set the DV output parameters (e.g. whether you want NTSC or PAL
+   video), use the DV1394_INIT ioctl, passing in the parameters you
+   want in a struct dv1394_init.
+ 
+   Example 1:
+         To play a raw .DV file:   cat foo.DV > /dev/dv1394
+	 (cat will use write() internally)
+
+   Example 2:
+           static struct dv1394_init init = {
+	      0x63,        (broadcast channel)
+              4,           (four-frame ringbuffer)
+	      DV1394_NTSC, (send NTSC video)
+	      0, 0         (default empty packet rate)
+           }
+
+	   ioctl(fd, DV1394_INIT, &init);
+
+	   while(1) {
+	          read( <a raw DV file>, buf, DV1394_NTSC_FRAME_SIZE );
+		  write( <the dv1394 FD>, buf, DV1394_NTSC_FRAME_SIZE );
+           }
+
+   2)
+
+   For more control over buffering, and to avoid unnecessary copies
+   of the DV data, you can use the more sophisticated the mmap() interface. 
+   First, call the DV1394_INIT ioctl to specify your parameters, 
+   including the number of frames in the ringbuffer. Then, calling mmap() 
+   on the dv1394 device will give you direct access to the ringbuffer
+   from which the DV card reads your frame data.
+
+   The ringbuffer is simply one large, contiguous region of memory
+   containing two or more frames of packed DV data. Each frame of DV data
+   is 120000 bytes (NTSC) or 144000 bytes (PAL).
+
+   Fill one or more frames in the ringbuffer, then use the DV1394_SUBMIT_FRAMES
+   ioctl to begin I/O. You can use either the DV1394_WAIT_FRAMES ioctl
+   or select()/poll() to wait until the frames are transmitted. Next, you'll
+   need to call the DV1394_GET_STATUS ioctl to determine which ringbuffer
+   frames are clear (ready to be filled with new DV data). Finally, use
+   DV1394_SUBMIT_FRAMES again to send the new data to the DV output.
+
+
+   Example: here is what a four-frame ringbuffer might look like
+            during DV transmission:
+
+
+         frame 0   frame 1   frame 2   frame 3
+
+	*--------------------------------------*
+        | CLEAR   | DV data | DV data | CLEAR  |
+        *--------------------------------------*
+                   <ACTIVE> 
+
+	transmission goes in this direction --->>>
+
+
+   The DV hardware is currently transmitting the data in frame 1.
+   Once frame 1 is finished, it will automatically transmit frame 2.
+   (if frame 2 finishes before frame 3 is submitted, the device
+   will continue to transmit frame 2, and will increase the dropped_frames
+   counter each time it repeats the transmission).
+
+ 
+   If you called DV1394_GET_STATUS at this instant, you would
+   receive the following values:
+   
+                  n_frames          = 4
+		  active_frame      = 1
+		  first_clear_frame = 3
+		  n_clear_frames    = 2
+
+   At this point, you should write new DV data into frame 3 and optionally
+   frame 0. Then call DV1394_SUBMIT_FRAMES to inform the device that
+   it may transmit the new frames.
+
+   ERROR HANDLING
+
+   An error (buffer underflow/overflow or a break in the DV stream due
+   to a 1394 bus reset) can be detected by checking the dropped_frames
+   field of struct dv1394_status (obtained through the
+   DV1394_GET_STATUS ioctl).
+
+   The best way to recover from such an error is to re-initialize
+   dv1394, either by using the DV1394_INIT ioctl call, or closing the
+   file descriptor and opening it again. (note that you must unmap all
+   ringbuffer mappings when closing the file descriptor, or else
+   dv1394 will still be considered 'in use').
+
+   MAIN LOOP
+
+   For maximum efficiency and robustness against bus errors, you are
+   advised to model the main loop of your application after the
+   following pseudo-code example:
+
+   (checks of system call return values omitted for brevity; always
+   check return values in your code!)
+   
+   while( frames left ) {
+   
+    struct pollfd *pfd = ...;
+
+    pfd->fd = dv1394_fd;
+    pfd->revents = 0;
+    pfd->events = POLLOUT | POLLIN; (OUT for transmit, IN for receive)
+
+    (add other sources of I/O here)
+    
+    poll(pfd, 1, -1); (or select(); add a timeout if you want)
+
+    if(pfd->revents) {
+         struct dv1394_status status;
+	 
+         ioctl(dv1394_fd, DV1394_GET_STATUS, &status);
+
+	 if(status.dropped_frames > 0) {
+	      reset_dv1394();
+         } else {
+              for(int i = 0; i < status.n_clear_frames; i++) {
+	          copy_DV_frame();
+              }
+         }
+    }
+   }
+
+   where copy_DV_frame() reads or writes on the dv1394 file descriptor
+   (read/write mode) or copies data to/from the mmap ringbuffer and
+   then calls ioctl(DV1394_SUBMIT_FRAMES) to notify dv1394 that new
+   frames are availble (mmap mode).
+
+   reset_dv1394() is called in the event of a buffer
+   underflow/overflow or a halt in the DV stream (e.g. due to a 1394
+   bus reset). To guarantee recovery from the error, this function
+   should close the dv1394 file descriptor (and munmap() all
+   ringbuffer mappings, if you are using them), then re-open the
+   dv1394 device (and re-map the ringbuffer).

+/* Q: What are cip_n and cip_d? */
+
+/*
+  A: DV video streams do not utilize 100% of the potential bandwidth offered
+  by IEEE 1394 (FireWire). To achieve the correct rate of data transmission,
+  DV devices must periodically insert empty packets into the 1394 data stream.
+  Typically there is one empty packet per 14-16 data-carrying packets.
+
+  Some DV devices will accept a wide range of empty packet rates, while others
+  require a precise rate. If the dv1394 driver produces empty packets at
+  a rate that your device does not accept, you may see ugly patterns on the
+  DV output, or even no output at all.
+
+  The default empty packet insertion rate seems to work for many people; if
+  your DV output is stable, you can simply ignore this discussion. However,
+  we have exposed the empty packet rate as a parameter to support devices that
+  do not work with the default rate. 
+
+  The decision to insert an empty packet is made with a numerator/denominator
+  algorithm. Empty packets are produced at an average rate of CIP_N / CIP_D.
+  You can alter the empty packet rate by passing non-zero values for cip_n
+  and cip_d to the INIT ioctl.
