[jason levy] "I was told that Capturing the DVCProHD via HDSDI was inferior to the native firewire capture.. but seems to me that working in native DVCProHD will involve more lossy decode/encode stages."
Then why not capture to ProRes since you asked about the FW conversion from DVCPROHD?
When I was working in DVCPROHD, I always have captured over the HDSDI without issue, ( just like walter does at BC), however if you are worried - go to ProRes.
