Re: ProRes via Convergent HD,and AJA, or Capturing HDV via Firewire

Thanks Tim,
I have read positive things about editing in HDV. When I tried it before, I was using an M10U deck and it was squirrelly at best, but I now have an HDV 1500A so this may make a difference. Also, when I've talked to a couple of people about editing in HDV, one said fine and the other said don't do it.
Have you edited in HDV and what do you think of the pros and cons?
The other things I've read is to get out of HDV as soon as possible and i like the Pro Res color depth. However, this is, of course, pointless if I don't have machine control. I love what you said about great machine control. For the time being, I had to get to work on a long form doc, so I'm capturing in DV Cam via firewire and things are going smoothly.

Thanks
