I am not talking about for a lock-down stationary interview as much as when talent is moving and I end up with the dreaded lapel brushes

Is it possible to Digitize Old Video Tapes at a high enough resolution to effectively use in an HD production?

This cam has only been used to shoot 2 docs and they were both inside high-end audio recording studios (meaning environmentally perfect conditions) and the cam was always locked down on a tripod.

i have to do several interviews and I have to keep my kit small as possible

OK I am spacing out on this one.
If I set the bubble in middle then rotate > bubble goes off center. tripod seems to be on level ground.
what is best way to set level that stays level at 360 degrees rotation??
by the way, this is mostly with my 516, haven't has similar issues with other.
I have seen this talent in other "homemade" videos where they actually look younger than in the video I shot, because the videos had no real lighting.
because we lit the scene really bright, and the talent had no make-up, the talent looks quite old.
i have played around with levels filter...
so if I am shooting 1080/30p what can I do to get Max Brightness without using gain.
the question assumes I already have F wide open and I cant add lighting to scene
so if I shoot a bunch of 720/30p then want some b-roll that will let me do some pan and scan
i can shoot in 1080/30p and they mix well on the timeline ?
need lowest budget way to do smooth (or close) car shot of talent driving / talking
unless dirt cheap - I would have to rent
will be in Atlanta (in case anyone knows a rental shop that would have it)

Hey Guys
on a certain project we ended up with 24pn P2 + 30p canon HDV
we typically edit in and output 30p and it would have been ideal to get both formats in 30p
what is the best way to handle the 24p in this (accidental) workflow?
Quadro FX 4800 for Mac --- advertised as a big deal for video in os x or bootcamp --- what about in Vegas??

Upon opening project with only P2 media in it I get this:
Media file K:\VIDEO\P2\BG_1\CONTENTS\VIDEO\0001SL.MXF has changed enough that the media stream properties from the project file could not be applied. Default media stream properties were used.
Im dragging P2 into the timeline no problem. but when i try to drag certain files (which appear as normal MXF files on disk) I get this message...
not a video p2 mxf file
open the video mxf file to get mxf audio
