So are you saying that when you play back the original
mini-DV camera tape it looks fine. But as soon as you
transfer the video onto your computer, the picture looks
faded when you view the captured file on your computer
screen?
What does it look like when you play the computer file
back out the Firewire and view it on a real TV screen?
Remember that video always looks different (too dark)
when you view it on a computer screen.

Not clear whether you lost the color when "the DV video is
captured" or "after I burn a DVD"? There are several steps
in the process and you are only looking at the first and last
steps. You will likely need to more closely investigate each
step independently to determine where the color went.
I've captured, edited and produced DVDs for hundreds of
hours of video and I've never seen such an effect. Being
digital means that things like contrast and color are preserved
exactly as good (or bad) as the original camera tape.
