Do you have a HD DVD player this disc will not work on a bluray player.

Make sure you are working with an Anamorphic timeline, that is what 864 x 486 square would convert to.

There are a few high end cameras, really high end that do true 24p (Like the RED) so it is pretty safe to save that the files are 23.98.
But you can retime true 24 to 23.98 with Compressor (and I’m pretty sure CinemaTools) with no quality loss.

I would say the quality difference would make up for all the extra space, not to mention that you need a faster hard drive to pull uncompressed.
But as Rafael said there should be no lose in quality if you are converting it correctly. The only thing you what to change is the codec. Resolution, frame rate and field dominance needs to remain the same.
Once you get the workflow done things should move along. The key is getting it right before you start the edit.

You are going to be in a world of hurt if you want these cameras to match.
First thing you need to decide is what frame rate you want to edit at and match all the cameras to that.
What options does the FX1 have?
As far the HVX 24p is used when you want to edit in a 29.97i sequence and 24pA when you plan to use 23.98p sequences.

Compressor is an app that comes with FC Studio and it is for compressing. You have more control over quality with it. For De-interlacing it does a much better job.
You really cannot just DV footage on a computer, that footage is meant to be viewed on a TV only. So do some short test with exporting as Current Settings and then to your delivery codec with Compressor.

First, .MOV is nothing other than a QuickTime file, it can be a ton of things. There are codecs for both video and audio, audio for editing should always be uncompressed and 48K. If you do not learn what are acceptable codecs you will always be struggling. In short most people will use ProRes as the go to codec. A lot of cheaper software convertors will convert it to another form H264 which you do not want for FCP. ClipWrap is a great app that has professional codec choices.

[Scott Gaskin] “quality is not as good and is washed out. “
this is an exact copy of your timeline.Quicktime conversion is never really recommended, better to export with current settings and then take into Compressor to encode to your final delivery codec.
The main questions are, what type of footage are you using and what are you sequence setting. Never post a “what is wrong” without that info.

a buddy of mine rigged up filter wrenches and he says they work great, I plan to order some to test it out.

Pretty cheap thing to try and it is always good to have these things handy if you use filters.

We used to use an older version of this feature when it was in Magic Bullet Editor but I have not used this app. I don’t think I have shoot or editing anything interlaced in years. I’m pretty sure that there is a trial of the software for you to run test on your footage. Normally RG just puts a RED X on the footage so you get to seeing how is works and the time it takes.
