[David Hunter] “How should the Camera be setup so that I KNOW that at least 720p is coming out of the Composite connector?”

You will NEVER get a 720p signal from the Composite out.

The HVX200 has a Component output. That will give you an HD (720p/1080i) signal. You have the option to go Component into a switcher or get a Component to HD-SDI converter.

As I said, Select the Help menu in FCP and look in the manual.

You can save your project file and media to any location on your system. Setting your scratch disk is for your media.

You can also put your auto save project folder anywhere on your system.

Save your self time for editing and do what Raf suggests. Convert all footage to ProRes. May take a little longer on the front end but your editing will not be as hard.

I have no idea. Just doing a quick search, this is what I found:

In general, it is easier for consumers in PAL/SECAM countries to view NTSC DVDs than vice versa. Almost all DVD players sold in PAL/SECAM countries are capable of playing both kinds of discs, and most modern PAL TVs can handle the converted signal.† However, most NTSC players cannot play PAL discs, and most NTSC TVs do not accept 576i video signals as used on PAL/SECAM DVDs. Those in NTSC countries, such as in North America, generally require both a region-free, multi-standard player and a multi-standard television to view PAL discs, or a converter box, whereas those in PAL countries generally require only a region-free player. There are also differences in pixel aspect ratio (720 × 480 vs. 720 × 576 with the same image aspect ratio) and display frame rate (29.97 vs. 25). Again, NTSC discs can be played on most DVD systems worldwide,[citation needed] while PAL discs play on very few players outside of PAL/SECAM countries.[8]

Adobe has discontinued the Box copies of Creative Suite. There will not be any hard discs of the next version.

If you are a working professional, a 1 year subscription to Creative Cloud would pay for itself in 1 or 2 jobs.

Creative Cloud includes a lot more than just the Master Collection.

PAL won’t help in Russia. They use SECAM there. Find out from them if the DVD player in Russia can play NTSC. If not, make a digital file of the wedding and they can watch it on a computer.
