I successfully recorded a dv output via firewire with the tool "dvgrab".
this tool generate an .avi file. I cannot read this file with vlc but 
have not tested all the possibility yet.
in any way and if i can get rid of this problem, dvgrab can send the 
data to the standard output and vlc can read the standard input. so a 
pipe : "dvgrab | vlc " should work (add the correct options).

I will tell you the result of my experiments.
