That’s why for now I only shoot SD, but I’ll save this chat for another time. Have fun

Well, the reply is funny indeed, and if you just wanted to humor us, I'll give you nine out of ten, Alan (one point penalty for not mentioning that this is a joke)!
But seriously, HDV footage can be easily ruined by improper downrezzing. From my experience it's not easy to mix DV and HDV footage on the same timeline (my experience is with PremPro) and still get good results. If it's possible, I would suggest working the HDV portion in HDV and downconverting only at the end to SD mpeg2 for DVD, I suppose that's your final product.
If, for any reason, you need to mix the footage on the same timeline, I would decompress and downrez the HDV portion with VirtualDub MPEG2 using a high quality intermediate (uncompressed or HuffYUV) and add that to my SD timeline.
