Sony FX7E (i.LINK CONV ON) features a built-in hardware down convert
from HDV on tape to DV output via the i.LINK cable, as so-called wide
screen (anamorphic) DV.
1) Is this DV format useful to edit DV in Cinelerra as a base for
creating DVD?
Yes - since DVD is not HD. The DV your camera produces is just normal DV.
2) Is this useful as DV draft or intermediate codec to edit in
Cinelerra, before re-capturing full HDV using timecode to create a final
BD/HDVD?
No. If you downconvert the video, you cannot convert back to HD. The
conversion reduces the resolution to normal DV resolution (i.e.
NTSC/720x480 or PAL/720x576).
3) Or is native HDV capturing and editing in Cinelerra the prefered way
to make maximum BD/HDVD quality video?
If you want the final product to be HD, the source material has to be HD also.
