However, the results do seem to be better if you downconvert from HDV
on the computer rather than in the camera. Plus if you're going to a
better output format than DV, you can theoretically get close to 10-bit
4:4:4 SD footage from downconvertedHDV (assuming no serious MPEG-2
compression artifacts).
