confusion on project settings in 5.01

Confusion over Edius 5.01 project settings.

When I got my latest editor it came with a preset for HDV and it was 1440x1080 29.97p over 59.41

I have been shooting for the past year with a Sony EX-1/3 set at the SP setting in the camera of 1080/60i. However my settings in Edius have been 1440x1080 29.97p over 59.41. Is this wrong??? Am I asking Edius to convert the HDV interlaced setting in the EX to progressive?

Sorry to post such a simple basic question but it may be the source of some of my problems. One is the artifacts that I get when down converting to SD and the other Edius not displaying as much “real time” as before.

Thanks folks.... sometimes the simplest questions are the source of a problem.

BTW I have been hoping over 2 years now for a simple smooth way for down convert from HD to SD without the artifacts from within Edius. Has any progress been made on this?

As regards your second point about downconversion, keep the project settings in HD and then output to DVD, DV or whatever and you downconversion should be spot on.
