It sounds like you have your camera in DV Downconvert mode and you are actually capturing DV even though you shot HDV. You need to read your camera’s manual and make sure that it is placed in HDV capture mode. Then use the HDV capture tool in Vegas. If your captured footage isn’t recognized as 1080i you’re doing something wrong.

On Sony’s in the menus it is call iLink conversion and it has HDV-DV. make sure that is not enabled and capture in HDV SDI in Vegas like John said. Good luck!

I must have changed some setting some where because every I click on the capture video icon it doesn’t give me a choice whether to capture my video in DV or HDV-SDI. Please show me where to change the capture video mode to give me the choice of either DV or HDV-SDI capture mode. I will need a lots of help. Thanks much for your quick respond.

In Vegas Pro go into Options | Preferences | Video and uncheck “Use external video capture application”. That will cause the internal HDV capture to be called the next time you use File | Capture Video.

What about rendering setting to get the best HD DVD quality? Please show me how can I set up the setting to get the best video quality out of it. I noticed big video quality improvement since you guy show my how to capture it in HDV format other than DV. I’m editing it in 1440x1080i right now and need your help to help me to get the best video quality on to a DVD. Thank so much to your times and help.

The best quality you can get from a DVD is unfortunately only DVD quality unless you want to burn a Blu-ray image to DVD media but these will not play in a DVD player, only a Blu-ray player. The best DVD compatible format is to render to MPEG2 using one of the DVD Architect templates and render your audio as Dolby Digital AC3.
