Easy HDV Questions…I think
I am trying to not be scared of all the posts about everyones HDV problems…
Here’s my latest question – hopefully its a quickie for you guys –
-My tapes are HDV 1080i @ 29.97 —
-My Camera is a SONY HDR-FX7At the moment I am VERY low on storage and CAN NOT afford to capture @ full 1080×1440 –
I read that the Sony cameras have the ability to Downconvert while capturing…and then if needed I can go back later and Up-Res if needed.
So – I’m you sure all know the Basics of my problem –
**At DV NTSC – this capture is looking “SQUEEZED”
**At DV NTSC ANAMORPHIC – I have letterbox.**What should I make my Capture and Sequence Settings?
For now, delivery will most likely be a QT – for the web – Maybe a DVD…So…
Can FCP compensate for this while capturing to make it 4:3? or do I need to do
somethin’ else and convert it somehow?
AND are there other settings I need to worry about like Interlacing and such?Thanks! –

HDV takes up just about the same space as DV douse so down-converting will not do much for you.
Sense you are very low I sagest getting a new hard drive, drives are cheep and you want to keep 10-20% free on your hard drive anyway.
