DV to HD using HDV camera?
Hello Fellas
I have some old VHS tapes converted to DV through Premiere Capture.
1- I was thinking if after editing it i can export the timeline to a sony HDV camera that I have?
2- on the camera if record in DV mode that’s going to give me SD 720×480 DV tape.But is possible to record in HDV mode? that maybe a yes, But most importantly is it going to be just stretched video or is it going to be improved somewhat and perhaps more suitable for viewing on today’s 1080p TVs.3- Is there a better method for converting DV to HDV?.
Any info. regarding this subject would greatly appreciated.Thanks.

Take a 320 x 240 clip or still (that resembles the vertical resolution of VHS). Enlarge that to 1620 x 1080. That shows you what you will end up with.
It will cause you severe headaches and make your ophthalmologist a very happy man. Forget it.

Hi Kandahar,
It will not be worth the effort and TIME to try and accomplish this. Make a nice DVD and play using an “upconverting” DVD player, this will enhance quality for the HD display without you having to jump through hoops.
To Export to HDV tape, you must be working in an HDV project. ALL of your DV material would have to be set to “Scale to Frame Size” and would then require rendering. 4:3 SD video would be pillar boxed with black bars left and right. After rendering timeline, Export to HDV requires another lengthy render prior to writing to tape. So now you have an HDV tape, this requires you to play back from camcorder every time. Not fun or practical.
