First of all please excuse my complete lack of post production, codecs, bit rates and all things related.
My girlfriend is producing a doco for broadcast. Final delivery is PAL Digibeta. We are thinking of putting the camera rental fee and crew (me) in the budget toward a HDV (probably the canon XL-H1). Post production will probably be FCP.
Q: WHAT COULD WE LOSE/GAIN BY AQUIRING, POST PRODUCING HDV FOR STANDARD DEF DELIVERY??
If there is any significant loss by going this path we'll just rent a digibeta camera, the cost of renting a deck not going to figure to much in the post budget.
Once again appologies for the simple questions, I'm just a cameraman!!
