It works. I captured HDV footage directly to the HVRDR60 from a HVR-V1U into Final Cut 6 (Studio 2). I used log and capture with the HVRDR60 set to video mode. I just did a “capture now” as a test. The next step is to test batch capture.
I hope this is not a super stupid question but when I set the HVR-V1U to 24p (or 30p for that matter) the footage is saved as 1080i. It’s interlaced. So what the big deal with the 24p if it’s converted to 1080i? Am I missing something? Does it have to do with the fact that I saving to the HVRDR60? Any suggested reading would be helpful.
