if you want (only) DV resolution in the final result, of course it is much more convienient to reduce the resultion early. Because DV material demands much lesser processing power. And because of the anamorphotic storage of HDV, handling such in a Cinelerra project gives rise to some odds and ends. BUT, if you want maximum quality in your final product, it is better to stay at the full resulution as long as possible. The rationale is to have additional "headroom" for any effects, zooming, deinterlacing etc. you want to apply to your material. This may impose much more processing power, consideration and work though. The third idea in your post mentions the possibility to use the camera converted material as "Proxy" for the full res material. But sadly, cinelerra has no native support for such proxy editing. If someone is struck to use proxies (which is often the case because of the high demands of HDV editng), the only solution is to use some hacks and external scripting at the moment.
