Hi, I have the Sony HDV Z1U. We want to shoot HD and use the footage in both NTSC and PAL edits. What is the best way to do this. HDV is the same in both PAL and NTSC? example: Can I shoot in HDV (50i PAL) and downconvert to DV_NTSC format right off the camera? Any advice? Thanks

Well it seems every tape I log has a timecode break in it. The program detects this and I am unable to batch capture like this. The only thing I can do is batch 2-3 clips at one time to get them importing. Is there anyway around this? If I am going in and logging w/ the in-out and then trying...
