We all know DV stinks for compositing greenscreen work becasue of the 4:2:1:(whatever) color space... It is very hard to pull a good greenscreen and make it look un-noticable b/c the edges come out with that pixel stair stepped look.

How good is HDV for compositing? Essincally it is still DV right, so am I to asume it would retain some of the problems with DV compositing? - Or am I to asume it would pull very good composites due to the increased resolution of 720p?

You thoughts?

Theoretically it will be worse.

Why speculate? Just try it out.
