This is a repeating topic and one that has caused more misleading
presumption than any since Hi8 was needlessly abused and degenerated by
lazy broadcast professionals in the early 90's. It's people like your
bodged Beta SX dubbers who have convinced too many commissioners that
black is white and Elvis lives on the moon, unfortunately a lot of
forelock tugging cap doffers are too willing to accept any silly tosh
these worthies utter.
HDV must be properly transcoded for editing, right now the choice of
edit system is limited, despite the claims made by some. If this is done
correctly it will convert to any format without undue degeneration.
Ironically the best systems that use proper transcoding codecs are not
the same as those systems that have managed to smoke and mirror their
way to become 'industry standard'. Whilst FCP's so called Native HDV is
almost up to it, Adobe Premier (1.5 Pro with HDV plug in or the
astonishingly capable v2.0) and Canopus Edius (especially the new v4.0)
do it better.
