Film Effects at http://www.nattress.com will do the trick for you! THe New 2.5.1 version works great with HDV.

No, They’re for FCP only.

It should look like very good 1/3″ CCD video. It won’t look as good as say, digibeta or DVCpro50 shot on a 2/3″ camera, but it should look better than DV shot with a 1/3″ camera, and you’ve got real widescreen to boot.

Don’t see any reason why not, but you’d have to scale up the NTSC video (potentially loosing rez) as well as dealing with the 4% speedup.

BetaSP is an ancient analogue format, with only about 75% the resolution of standard def digital video, and hence you can’t really compare it to a digital format – it’s like apples to oranges. All digital tape formats look better than BetaSP, even boring old DV, so it’s not a “gold standard” to compare to.
Converting to DV rather than uncompressed for mastering a NTSC DVD is a bad idea though. DV is 4:1:1 and DVD is 4:2:0 and they clash. Best to go from HDV to uncompressed 8bit 4:2:2 and avoid DV altogether. So I’d suspect that capturing in FCP as HDV and downconverting in FCP5 (high qwuality scaling turned on) would be best.

You should be able to speed up 24p to 25p just fine, to make “PAL” HD – I don’t see any reason why not.

Don’t bet on it. I had a “dropout” on a cheaper CF card the other week.

You probably exported “using Quicktime conversion”, which is to be avoided, as you’re incurring a Y’CbCr to RGB to Y’CbCr conversion, and the stuttering is either a wrong frame rate setting, or your hard drive can’t cope with uncompressed.
For getting DV to uncompressed, I’d recommend copying your sequence to an uncompressed seq in FCP, or changing the compression settings of your seq to uncompressed, and then export -> quicktime movie, accept defaults.

Thanks Kevin! I was going to suggest that an Application of Nattress Film Effects will probably do the job – Preset Basic should be perfect!

Certainly the JVC is ergonomically superior, so I’d agree that I’d prefer to use it, but the image through it still looks sub-par to me.
