    just a couple of simple questions
    i recorded some footage onto dv tape. i had a hire camera and have returned it to the shop.
    does it make a difference to my footage if i capture it using a camera of lesser quality than the one i filmed on?
    also what capture settings should i be using for maximum uncompressed quality. i need to edit this footage for broadcasting. is dvcpro a good setting to use for capturing?
    thanks for your help

    Using another DV camera to capture the footage is unlikely to be a problem, and will not effect the image quality of the camera original footage.

    To capture DV footage natively choose:

    Final Cut Pro > Easy Set-Up > DV NTSC (or PAL)

    If you shot 16×9 choose DV NTSC (or PAL) Anamorphic.
