I'm about to start editing HDV footage, and would like any advice on the best way to edit and export HDV footage for the best quality on FCP or media 100, and advantages and disadvantages to different compression codecs, whether its best to stay native HDV, or go to another format/codec for editing and output. The more specific to my generic question the better. I'm brand new to the HDV format and need a nice education here. thanks.

I just came across the limitations of the HDV codec; a 20% slow down, an increased contrast, all fine and than I wanted to desaturate the material and that was to much the material looked like 10 year old VHS stuff
So if you don't do to much with it it's fine otherwise it's better to use the prores422 codec
You can recompress the HDV while capturing
