Are you editing MPEG now? Or are you editing DV and then
rendering to MPEG when you are done. You may not be
very happy with editing MPEG video, although the process
is improving, the quality never improves once you have
degraded it to MPEG.

Essentially, yes.

Simply saving the original camera tapes is SO MUCH
BETTER (and easier, faster, and cheaper) than ANYTHING
you can do with your computer that it is not even debatable.
If the video isn't worth the $5/hour cost of the tape, then
it wasn't worth shooting, and not worth archiving, either.
