Converting later does take an appreciable amount of time especially with
the huge amount footage you'll have recorded.
For native HDV capture I am pretty sure you'll need FCP. My
understanding is that iMovie and FCP Express are locked into AIC.
One thing to remember is that HDD performance drops off quite
dramatically the more the disk is filled. I only ever fill media drives
half full to maintain performance. You might need more drive space than
you think to avoid dropped frames towards the end of the disk.
