I've got a quick question. Is footage captured in 1080i HDV with a Sony V1 and converted in FCP to SD before being laid back onto tape, better quality than in camera SD recording, sent to FCP and laid back to tape? i.e.....

Route #1
Shoot HDV 1080i on Sony V1 > Captured HDV 1080i into FCP > Edited > Put back onto DVCAM tape on Sony V1

Route #2
Shoot DVCAM SD on Sony V1 > Captured DVCAM SD into FCP > Edited > Put back onto DVCAM tape on Sony V1

Kind regards
Jon
