Welcome to the reason I left Fedora. AFAIK what happened is they went to 
the new firewire stack in F8 which breaks things for any of us who use 
firewire capture from a STB. I was not able to get it working at all and 
ended up going to Ubuntu because they still use the old stack and 
firewire capture "just works" without jumping thru hoops. Good luck 
getting it working.
