Andy,
I would do the test again when I get a healthier Multibridge (bug fixed version) but since we have not received it for ourselves, I am not able to do the test again. One thing that I am sure to test for the next time is that I would more actively pan the camera. HDV camcorders seems to do great not compressing much when it is static. So, I regret that I provided pretty much static clip (turtles move slow you know!).
JVC’s HDV cam does uncompressed 720p analog output. Has anyone tried it?
