Here's the result on one of the computer.
dmesg|grep 1394 generates whole bunch of
"ohci1394: fw-host0: SelfID received, but NodeID invalid (probably new bus 
reset occurred): 0000FFC0"

grep . /sys/bus/{ieee1394,firewire}/devices/*/* generates

/dev/raw1394 is owned by root:video and I'm testing both dvgrab and testlibraw 
as the root.  I added root to the group "video".

I'm using the dvgrab package from packman.

I'll do the same test on other machines and post the result.

Thank you for your help.
