Web Only

[Mike Velte]

Capturing via USB, Firewire or copy/paste is simply data transfer from media with no changes made.
The exception might be HDV camcorders that can down convert HD to SD in the camera during capture.
Project (CS3) or Sequence (CS4) settings should match the properties of the video.
1080i refers to the resolution (1920×1080) and the i is for interlaced fields.

Sean,

I would capture and keep a copy of your finished product at the highest resolution possible. You never know when you will need it again and for what purpose/resolution. Locking yourself into a web only product limits future reutilization.
