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.

I forgot to comment the latter. In my case the DN-300 recorder above also had a built-in ADC and ecorded the digitized Hi8 S-video as SD DV files.
And then DV files burned to Blu-ray data discs as backup. Thereafter making mpeg2 Blu-ray Video discs.

Regarding digitizing the rest of 30 analog S-video tapes, I'll also will try out (when arrived) an ADC adapter+ HDMI-USB3 capture card qualities.

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* ....
