Better late than never! When I have digitized S-video to DV I have been disappointed about less color saturation and darker pictures of theDV result playback.
Finishing Hi8 I just continued with VHS and vhsc digitizing, where red and green were even lesser and weak.
What I now found out to my surprise is that it is really the MX-1/TBC that eats the colors in my work chain, and not as exspected the A/DV conversion.
MX-1 has been known to include an effective, fullframe TBC, 8bit/422 brilliant color depth/sampling and 500 lines resolution, especially the better PAL version. It is also a video mixer with noise filter an a lot of effects like Chroma key.
I have not found out if MX-1 can be set up with extended color saturation.
Despite that this is off-topic and specific historical, I will supplement that MX-1's Advanced Setup also had Black level setting and Composite Chroma AGC. Setting the latter Automatic Gain Control, compensates for RCA input source with weak color signal, ref. the MX-1 manual chpt 5 and this good, old forum's reply: https://tech.churchofjesuschrist.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=149189#p149189
But I had and have tested a Videotech Design VCC3010 high resolution (700 lines!) RGB color corrector and video processor, with no need to decode!
A week ago I tested VCC3010 in front of MX-1, with no visible result. That is, MX-1 did eat also these colors.
But now when VCC3010 is connected after (behind) MX-1, the colors and saturation on the DN-300 DV record loop/playback could be returned closer to the analog source.
Some will probably say colors can be added easy in the post. But I prefer also the "digitized sources" keep the original color levels.

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 :).
\o/ I hope box will remain undead for at least as long as needed for all works and tests :)

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* ....
