Joining this a bit late but just trying to avoid some confusion on my part.

You mention that you have recorded on mini DV tape. Is this recording done in DV format or HDV format ? The reason I am asking is because two weeks previously you were asking about using iDVD for burning HD material in your question about producing wedding videos.The advice given here may depend on which format you have recorded in.
