Yeah agreed. My first HDV wedding, i captured as HDV and was able to print back to tape no problem. Shortly after that i learned of the HDV to ProRes method and the benefits seemed many so I made the switch without realizing the problem of Print to Tape.
I still appreciate the benefits though and will do as David suggested and archive to a hard drives. Actually, i may just pick out the sections I would want to keep as demo material and toss the rest. Thanks guys!

Oh! I didn’t realize that at all! Well that changes things then. I was importing as Pro Res because of reading several articles about the benefits.

This article says you can do it, but you have to conform the prores back to HDV, but doesn’t explain the actual setup.
In any case, I believe I’ll just give it up for now. Too much trouble.
Thanks! -
I guess that is true. I was hoping to clear up this particular hard drive, but maybe Ill back it up to my USB external drive for now. Thanks! I give up on the print to tape option. I’ve wasted 2 hours now trying to find a solution and it seem… NADA from everywhere! I love technology… when it does what I want!

Well, my thought was to keep a HD copy of the weddings I do so that in the future when i upgrade to bluray burners, I could have a good HD master to burn.
Most of the weddings seem to average about 100 gigs (around 2 hours, sometimes 2 and a half). It’s all Apple Pro Res imported and exported so I guess that accounts for the greater file size.
I was thinking that now though that maybe I’d just trash these weddings and whenever I do upgrade to bluray, just use whatever weddings I am shooting at the time. I just liked a few of these weddings i’ve done and wanted to have them as samples as well.
