I am new to the HVX200 and I am using it to shoot a music video in DV. But after I shot the croma key footage I realized it was almost impossible to get a really clean key at least in my application. Anyway I want to shoot the croma key footage in HD so I can have a color sample of 4:2:2. I don't want to purchase P2 cards. So my question is this, can you capture HD footage with a color sample of 4:2:2 via firewire on to a computer?
Any information would be extremely appreciate.

everything that travels over FireWire on that camera is the exact same quality of what you'd get on P2 or FireStore.
