see man fwctl(8).  # or fwcontrol(8)

     -R filename
             Receive DV stream and dump it to a file.  Use Ctrl-C to stop the
             receiving.  Some DV cameras seem not to send the stream if a bus
             manager exits.  If you cannot get the stream, try the following
             commands:

                   sysctl hw.ieee1394if.try_bmr=0
                   fwctl -r

             The resulting file contains raw DV data excluding isochronous
             header and CIP header.  It can be handled by libdv in the FreeBSD
             Ports Collection.
