is screen resolution 72dpi in HDV?
I have a stack of photos at 300dpi and am bringing them in to an HDV sequence, they are ridiculously large and sluggish, was wondering if I changed them to 72dpi in photoshop is that going to have any difference on image quality?

For all forms of video, dpi doesn’t need to be any higher than 72. Frame size is what you’re worried about, not dpi.

Forget DPI. It has absolutely no relevance in anything other than print. None. Ignore it entirely.
DPI is just metadata really, it simply specifies pixel density for printing – it is relevant for print design, but nothing else.
HDV is 1440×1080 (at the right pixel aspect, or 1920×1080 square pixels) – the DPI can be 1000 or 2, as long as the number of pixels are correct.
You can completely disregard DPI from this point onward unless you are making something for print.
