You don’t actually come out and say it but – You want to export a clip for use on a WIN machine?
Windows won’t play DVCPRO HD codec as you have figured out.
Yes, export 8 bit uncompressed would be the best route.Chris Tompkins

If u don’t have a need for this all the time then just use compressor. Capture & edit in HD. Output reference file and load into compressor and select SD 4X3 hit render over nite.

It’s more than likely a jusy an interlaced issue. Can u hook a TV up to your camera? Run Firewire out of FCP to ur cam. Then cam out to TV. This way you can see your timeline on a TV screen as it plays. Don’t judge ur video on the comp screen.
OR
Make a dvd and play it on a tv.
You should use easy setup DV NTSC 48k and u’ll be fine.
DV NTSC 48k Anamorphic if u shoot Wide.I had a GL2 that looked soft on wideshots when in 16X9 wide mode.
