Happily, the DN-300 came back from the dead and is currently converting and recording S-video to DV again, though it somewhat fickly to get mounted "HDD enabled" via Firewire to Linux :). Den 19.02.2023 17:15, skrev Terje J. Hanssen:

Terje, I can say with 100% certainty that here we have never tested FIREWIRE but I did notice that the CV contributors did add "ifdef FIREWIRE" in a few of the .C programs which conceivably means that it can be built with the capability. However, I guess I do not understand why you would want this option since you stated: "The reason is my 10 years old FireWire based DV/HDV recorder seemingly is dead."
Sony FX7/HDV tape Playback/i.LINK -> Datavideo DN-300 DV/HDV HDD recorder -> FireWire/Linux WS
Now when the M2T and DV recorder in the middle is dead, I have to transfer the files directly from the camcorder/player to the Linux WS.

Recently I successfully was able to do: "Transfer VHS/DVD Media or Video8/Hi8 Tapes into CINELERRA-GG" though.
Does this mean that Firewire/dv capture already is supported or optional can be configured?
it was not tested in ages ..... guess try to install all -dev version of libraries and look at output of cingg's configure .... then connect device and try to set capture device to iec* ....
