    I am on a Mac. What is the best format to convert standard definition dv material to so I can edit in Sony Vegas? I was thinking AVI

    Mpeg is harder on the CPU than DV AVI. If DV AVI is what you have, keep using it.

    MPEG is also a lot more compressed than AVI so follow Danny’s suggestion.
