Here are two files. The source video is a Video8 tape from 1994. One file is from a PAL DV file captured via firewire from my Sony TRV-110E Digital 8 camcorder; the other is from the same camcorder but captured using S-Video and my GV-USB2. Both were processed with VDub 2: deinterlaced Yadif double Frame rate, cropped and resized.
To my eye, there is no noticeable difference and therefore I would suggest sticking with the Firewire workflow for simplicity. I'll add that a DV workflow can utilise Scenalyzer, an amazing program for manipulating DV files which makes life so much easier than working with any of the other video formats.
The only consideration would be that the DV is from a PAL source, with 4:2:0 colour. NTSC DV is only 4:1:1 and so, allegedly, the DV quality will be less, although I have never seen an actual example of this lesser quality.Last edited by Alwyn; 14th May 2023 at 23:10.

I would side with Alwyn. Unless you want to tinker, using built-in DV conversion gives you a predictable result in an industry-standard codec.

Shifted chroma two lines up. I don't care much about the logo. I guess it may happen when elements added on top of the main picture may not exactly match, in this case I would choose the main picture.
In general, if present, the shift in VHS PAL is distributed across the whole picture. Is is unlikely that there is a shif in the master video before the broadcaster applied the logo, but you never know.
Thanks for sharing your point of view
