abandon 1394 DV support

[Arthur Chen <zi...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

I found that the libdv-1.0 library which we used in Realclass to support DV
is an GPL codec library.
Since GPL code must not  be included in Apache Project, I think maybe we
should abandon 1394 DV support.

ps: I have compiled LGPLed ffmpeg0.4.9 to replace the ffmpeg0.4.8 whose
copyright is unsure. Also the codec is changed from MPEG1 to MPEG4.

Best regards,
Arthur

Hi KevinI think 1394 DV support in RealClass could improve the quality
of courseware recording.
We can abandon 1394 DV support at this stage.
But I think we should add it in the later version.

hi, Arthur:
    GPL code can't be used under ASL. plus, i don't think that feature like
DV support is a must in this version of RealClass. Webcam support is enough.
What i am thinking that, currently, we just need to complete a table and
legalized release. After that, we may add such function in the next version
of RealClass.

The 1394 DV function of Realclass is an additional function and the most
useful camera device interface in Realclass system application is V4l,
instead of 1394. So abandoning 1394 DV support is a NOT bad idea for
legalizing the Realclass's licence under ASF.

Nice work. It is important for us to release the Realclass in ASF incubator.
