thanks David.
I understand the difference between HDV and DVCpro HD. but my question was simply about workflow since my company wants me to find what is the best way to spend their limited budget to get HD solution.
Since, we mostly do long format documentary, we have to shoot in HDV.
Only the answer I am looking for is that,
if you are not editing as HDV natively because of GOP issue, you have to edit as DVCpro HD.
my question is what do you do from there if we have only HDV deck.
for some reasons, people here don’t talk about it. it is weird….
Do you have to re-compress with HDV codec?? and re compress with HDV codec which is mpeg2 going to take as long as you encode video for DVD? do people actullay do that? it sounds crazy to do HDV-DVC Pro HD-HDV back again.
i would appreciate to answer my question.
thank you!
