Interesting, but pricey.
Yes, also my (first) impression, somewhat pricy, about 10k NOK incl.vat

That was less than I expected. (I only found a lesser model at B&H)
I would have been tempted if it came with a battery.
I guess not what you think of, but by adding 12% to its price there is a
DC Stabilizer DDC–1512 for DN-300 so that it can be used with a
unregulated 12V batteries, cigarette lighters or 12V supplies

Probably too bulky and heavy for the rucksack. A device that uses
FAT and split files at 2GB had better be _light_. But you don't need
this box in the field, right?
Sure. Cinelerra can open several files at a time, which makes this
pesky splitting less annoying. Still I would like some file system
backend (an KDE ioslave or equivalent, maybe?) to lump such files
together to hide this kludge.
Conclusion:
And me that thought I had found the "default solution" that I could
trust would work easy and flawless recording DV and HDV on, avoiding any
capturing problems using dvgrab :)
Therefore again, do you advice against it(s file structure) or will you
possibly say that DN-300 looks to be a useful solutin for the described
purpose?
For you the file splitting can be a minor issue. If you have a large
scratch disk (USB, IDE, whatever) and you don't need the results very
soon, combining the files is a matter of clever scripting.
However, if this transfer from Video8 is a once in a lifetime project,
the Datavideo DN-300 seems a little overkill...
