HD playout to DV
I have a project with HD footage (1080p24). I would like to playout a sequence to a mini DV deck via firewire.
I assume that I will need to export the sequence in some form to compressor and change it to a DV format before I “print to video”. I would also like to know if I can burn a DVD with these same settings, or would I need to do it differently.
This former Avid editor sure could use some advice. Thank you in advance.

To play it out firewire in 5.1.4, yes, you would need to convert the file to DV.
For the DVD, you need a MPEG2 file, so you would either convert the DV file to MPEG2, convert the original footage to MPEG2, or downconvert the footage to a better format than DV (ie DV50, Uncompressed 8-bit) and export it to MPEG2 from that file.
