HDV - is it worth the trouble?
Just trying to wrap my head around something at the moment and I reckon someone here will be clever enough to enlighten me.
I know that 99% of dvd players out there won't play dvds encoded with HDV (that's right, yeah?) but I have access to a high-def camera. Will shooting in high-definition, then encoding in standard definition give me a better picture quality when I export to DVD? Is this even possible?
In a nutshell - If I'm going to make a dvd for use by joe average, should I shoot in high-def if I can and why?
