No it won't. If it's 1080i HDV it's 1440x1080, period. The camera is
irrelevant, except to the extent that the CCDs in cheaper cameras may
be unable to provide the full resolution to record.

Who is talking about scaling up here? What's so hard to understand
about _SCALING DOWN_ from HD to SD? You do understand that high
definition is higher resolution than standard definition, right? Hence
the 'high definition' in the name?

This is really very, very simple maths: I don't understand why you're
having such a problem with it.
