I just want to throw this out there into the mix.
FCP6 has no problem editing in native HDV. In fact it is the preferred
method now and avoids intermediate codecs. There is now an option to
have all renders promoted to ProRes. You get the benefit of HDV files
sizes but where it matters i.e. renders and colour corrections etc you
get the benefit of a quick rendering high quality frame based codec.
This option is also available for XDCAM HD workflows too.
