The F8 firewall gui is more useful for entering ports to be opened and making certain rules that are entered at the bottom of the iptables (in iptable-save format?)
And some other things.

But the initial popup remains in that
"Use the gui, always use the gui."
or
roll you own iptables with an editor.

I did not see any special ports or name called "video capture"

What ports are you needing and are they udp or tcp, input or output, or both, on a client on a subnet or a gateway or a sever in the DMZ? That may exceed the gui's design but it all depends on how you code the rules or add the ports.

Well, I only need to capture video from my DV camcorder so for F8, I'm just recompiling the 2.6.23 kernel and enabling firewire + ntfs in it.

You could do the same to enable firewire support in F8.

Well, even with all the modules loaded for 1394, kino doesn't seem to find the /dev/raw1394.. So, I guess something is broken in fedora 8.
