Ah okay, I have seen this one – I thought that might have been it. Thanks Brian, much appreciated!

I know right? I think I’ll have to go searching for that down capture setting and turn it off before attempting to capture HDV again. Thanks Mike 🙂

Hi Mike and Jake! Thanks for your responses I appreciate the advice!
I looked for the ‘Down-Convert’ in the Z1’s VCR mode menu yesterday but couldn’t locate it (??), not sure why. I was also told by someone else to turn on the ‘Down-Convert’, so it’s obviously there somewhere. Apparently the ‘Down-Convert’ function on the camera should be automatically turned on anyway? Is this true? And could it possibly be called something else in the menu?
Jake, I have a question in relation to your response – my Premiere Pro wouldn’t actually allow me to capture the HDV footage in an HDV sequence setting, any idea why? Could it be that the ‘Down-Convert’ function was on, on my Z1? Because of this, I captured it in DV widescreen sequence 48 (the same as what I captured my DV footage), and as Mike says, it seems to have down converted to DV. My HDV footage (now clips) now seems to have the exact same metadata (viewed through Adobe Bridge) as the DV footage/clips. Does this mean it has successfully down converted to DV for me? Will the DV and HDV footage export okay together to make a DVD without hitches?
Thanks for your help guys!
