I shot with 1080 24p and I edit with FCP. Now I need copy to DV for apply my grad school. But I can't print to video. Do I need USB 2.0 cable? because DV fire wire doesn't work.
 
To downrez to DV, drop your DVCPRO HD sequence into a DV sequence and render. Then output via firewire to your DVCAM deck. Or you can use Compressor to downrez to DV; then create a new DV sequence in FCP and output.

Would there be a reason to use one method over the other? Quality using compressor vs. speed in FCP???
 
Just remember to set the sequence's motion filtering quality to best and video processing to high precision YUV mode. Mmm Compressor has some interesting frame controls for resizing and deinterlacing... When I have the spare time I go with compressor.
 
There was a bug at one time in Compressor downconverting from HD to SD, but that's been fixed a few updates ago. Best image quality will be gained by letting Compressor do the downconvert.
