I went through the decision of downconvert or not, and finally decided not to, and use an HD workflow. I don't think there is a clear decision either way, but to me the important thing is saving the footage in HD for the future. I want generate SD media now, but might want to re-do the project as HD (Blu-Ray, etc.) later. On the other hand, it is always on the tape in HDV if you ever want to go back and get it again.
Thanks, Bobby! And I just noticed the system you have in your signature. Very impressive.  "Satan trembles when he sees

Yeah, the best that IBM could produce! But I think it is time to upgrade my sig - I have been going through my history in computing. Bobby (Bob Seidel)

Oh my gosh... I remember the Tandy!
Am I showing my age?!
My very first system was the Vic 20... (including a nifty cassette tape data storage!) and when I finally upgraded to the Amiga, I thought that was going to be the end-all to computers.

It's OK Ted - there are a few of us old timers around here! Just remember: Don't trust anybody under 50!

 Uh oh! I'm 42, so at least I have a reason to do things and blame it on my lack of trust! "Satan trembles when he sees

If you are under 50 then you might not remember the phrase don't trust anyone over 30

Yup - being a true hippie of the 60s we all knew that we couldn't trust anybody over 30. Then we met the enemy and he is us!
(Know the origin of that phrase Chuck?)

I remember the quote "we have met the enemy and he is us" just can't remember where it is from.
Have to admit that I will need to check the internet for this one... Maybe Eisenhower?
