Very cool, Randy, that we’ve both learned something (and that you’re so humble about it!). Well, I’ve learned a lot from all of you, and can’t thank you enough!
Best to all of you!

Wow, Chris, thanks for the settings! Can I ask you a couple of question? Does downconvert actually tell the camera that even though you’ve shot in HD, that you’ve shot on a DVC tape? Why would I want to capture it in other than ProRes from the beginning? What is the benefit of doing it as you are right now?
Realizing I have a LOT to learn,

Thank you, David, and Rafael, too! You have given me a lot to think about. One thing, David: I do remember that when I went to import what I’d recorded, I had trouble. I had to set the camera to downconvert, and didn’t know that I’d shot in DV (or, there’s a possibility I set the camera for DV b/c those were the tapes I had and just don’t remember). I will carefully follow the instructions in the manual, as well as review the information on the HDV portion of this site.

Oh, boy, now I feel like the rookie I am. Please help me, then. I love the idea of shooting HD on DV tape. What is the setting to shoot on, if you have a Canon XH-A1 (or if you just happen to know it)? I was ready to pony up the extra $$ for the HD tapes, but if I can accomplish this on DV tape, all the better. It’s a looong 2 day shoot, and that would get expensive.
Next, when I go to import the video into FCP, what are the settings for that? I’ve been importing DV (shot on this camera) using NTSC Firewire Basic, but it sounds like I need to import differently as well.
Thanks for all the great posts, everyone! You are making this much more clear of a choice for me.
