As far as I know only certain JVC cameras shoot HDV at 720p, their flavor of HDV doesn’t work in normal 1080 HDV decks/cameras from sony/canon/etc. for playback and capture.

Also all the DSLRs have a 12 minute record limit so you will need to look elsewhere if you actually plan to do a 90 minute continuos shot.

The T2i and all other DSLRs for that matter can’t output full resolution over HDMI for live view/recording, it says it’s 1080i when you are not recording but the resolution is really lower. All of them downres to a certain extent and add black bars to the image. On the T2i and 5d when you press record it switches the HDMI signal to 480p with black bars, so you are essentially getting less than standard Definition. The only way to do any proper full resolution recording is with the internal H264 recording built into the cameras, that’s one of the bullets you just have to bite when you use DSLRs for video.

Well fudging the colour didn’t work out, it has to be pushed way to far from the real colour to make any difference.
However I have found that editing with the Photo JPEG codec instead of Prores produces a clean line without stairstepping and render times are similar if not a bit faster on my macbook pro.
Any downsides to using Photo-jpeg for my editing? -
I’ll try fudging the colour a bit and see if that helps.
And like I said, I’m working in the Prores codec, not DV.
