  DVCPRO HD 720p at the same frame rate.

  Looks great and keeps the file sizes low. 60 hours at 720p 23.98 will need 1.3 TB of storage.

  Really depends on what you’re editing – How much detail is reqeuired in your footage. I’d capture at DV25 Anamorphic (so that you preserve your 16×9 aspect). 60 hours of footage will take up just over 800 Gigs, but using DV will preserve a lot of the detail. I’ve been doing some offline work in OfflineRT HD (Photo JPEG), but you really lose a lot of the detail. If that’s important and you don’t want to be capturing your final cut with handles and tweaking the edit, I’d say go with DV.

  Ditto on Shane’s post. If you have 1.3 TB around. The only downside is if you need DVDs for reviews. The compresseion will take longer than if you were using DV downconverts. I would not go below DV25.
