I have several 60-min. Mini HDV cassettes shot on my Canon XL H1a that I'd like to have transferred to ProRes HQ. Anyone know anyone, or how I might accomplish this?

I have FCP 7, though minimal skills.

I have a source who will get them to ProRes 422 but the editor much prefers ProResHQ.

I'm an analog being and also well out of the loop.

Any guidance appreciated.

There is no difference to your editor between ProRes 422 and ProRes HQ. ProRes HQ is massive overkill for HDV, you'd just be wasting space.
