Hi, your firewire issue stems from the fact that there are two types of firewire cameras: DV cameras, which are normally camcorders or similar devices, and cameras that follow the IIDC standard, which are normally industrial cameras or your typical webcams. DV cameras compress the data during transmission, IIDC cameras don't. The libavg firewire support pertains to IIDC cameras. You can find a huge list of IIDC cameras here:
http://damien.douxchamps.net/ieee1394/cameras/ On the other hand, libavg should support DV cameras as video4linux2 devices (I haven't tried this, though). The ubuntu package, however, seems to have been compiled without v4l2 support. That happens if linux-headers is not installed under ubuntu. See if you can compile your own libavg. Install the linux-headers package for your kernel first so the video4linux2 headers are available.
