Invest in some good compression software like Episode!
This is absolutely invaluable in our production environment. It allows you to compress to dozens of formats easily. You’ll be glad you did.

If you play a high data rate vid clip off your OS drive you can get poor performance.
FWIW

I used to cut on Media100 and this was standard on that.

When u say choppy, do you mean the playback? Is it possible you have the footage on a slow OS drive and not a dedicated media drive or raid?
Not trying to edit over a USB drive r u?

I think most HDV decks do not allow for Firewire input of a HDV signal…

With all due respect Rafael – dropping dv25 video clips into a 10 bit timeline is NOT going to make the video any better @ all. It is by nature a 8 bit format.

As you’ll see in my earlier post;

it will give you the added color space and much better compression for stills/grfx/effects/moves/etc.

But hey, you’re free to disagree.

Total waste, total overkill. Don’t bother.

You can’t make the video better then the original.

A good practice when using dv25 footage is to edit in dv25 and when the edit is locked, change sequence settings to dv50 and re-render. This will give you the added color space and much better compression for stills/grfx/effects/moves/etc.

Or just start edit in dv50 timeline too.
Anything above that for the basic edit you mentioned is wasted time/space/energy.

I would not edit SD.

Shoot and edit in HD.
Output final program making a ref file as “Current Settings”
Drop that file into compressor and compress to your final needs.
web
dvd
etc.

This will yield your best looking SD widescreen video.

Well, this depends on details you have not posted;

What format is your video shot in?
How much grfx/effects/layering do you do?
What is your final delivery destination?
