HDV vs DVCPro HD codecs
i just shot 10 tapes on a Sony Z1 (1080i on HDV tapes). trying to capture them into FCP in the most efficient format, and wanted to go with DVCPro HD…but neither the native codec nor my Blackmagic codec will work. i get no communication with the camcorder with these codecs. when i switch to either the native HDV or the Blackmagic HDV, they both work fine, but i was just wanting the extra quality of the DVCPro HD codec. any ideas?
i’m using the Decklink SP 6.1

hdv and dvcprohd are 2 completly different systems and codecs.
you cannot capture hdv directly to dvcprohd codec. (excepting via analog composite hd)
in addition it’s nonsense!if you capture hdv it is native! that’s the best quality for your recordings.
the only thing you can do (depending on what do you want to do with the material) is to keep the best possible quality by doing the final rendering to an uncompressed codec or at least lossless codec.
