IEE 1394 / FireWire (Apple) / i.LINK (Sony) has been a standard connection to transfer native DV and HDV video files to Lin/Win/Apple computers.

• FireWire DV/HDV recording should still work via dvgrab, vlc, guvcview, OBS and ffmpeg etc., or directly via some NLE systems.
• The basic dvgrab tool is still valid on Linux and was mentioned in the Cin-CV wiki sect. 19.2
• http://cinelerra-cv.wikidot.com/cincv-manual-en:capturing-media#5

• ffmpeg enabled FireWire DV/HDV input device using libiec61883 (Streamcopy) seems also interesting.

On my Leap 15.4 or Tumbleweed, ffmpeg-5 is seemingly not compiled with  --enable-libiec61883.

Is possibly ffmpeg available with enabled libiec61883 via Cin-GG?

I had a look into the Cin-GG manual chpt 13 "Capturing and Recording Media", but could not see Firewire media transfer was mentioned.  However, in the Appendice section B.2 Configuration Features, Optional Packages is found:

--with-firewire       use firewire (auto)
--with-dv                use dv (auto)

Does this mean that Firewire/dv capture already is supported or optional can be configured?
