I have not worked in HDV, so can't speak on it. You can go to the LE
forums where there are people that have ACTUALLY used it. The system
requirements are high, very high.
http://tinyurl.com/8wct9 and search for HDV (or similiar topic) and see
what comes up. Also, this link will explain what Edition can do within
the HDV format and what the system requirements are. It is a .pdf (Adobe
Acrobat) file http://tinyurl.com/dk3vn

You can read through the forums and see what types of issues also come
up in editing within Liquid. Again, no product is perfect. For me,
Liquid has worked fine. The learning curve is high initially (Pinnacle
provides online video tutorials, and there are DVD's you can buy to get
you up and running in a couple of days), but once you get the hang of
it, the interface is far more customizable and the workflow in most
instances quicker (as compared to when I was using Premiere 6.5).
Call Pinnacle/Avid and see if they still offer the free trial DVD.
