Chris

All I can say is do some tests and see for yourself. You will see a big difference.

HDV has a 6 or 12 GOP structure, which is very different from SD Mpeg2, which has individual frames....

Premiere has really tight integration with After Effects, which could be the deciding factor for switching to premiere on the Mac for a lot of people.

David,
I'm using a Dual 2.0 G5 with 4gb ram.

For short 5 or 10 minute projects, HDV is fine, but I recently shot a friends wedding and don't fancy what could possibly be a week of rendering...

To be honest I don't notice any quality drop. I wasn't aware of an image size difference. The image size remains 1280x720, which is the flavour of HDV my camera produces. I could be wrong.

This is strange news.

Still I suppose it will help sell Mac hardware to premiere users who have held back from switching to OSX from Windows.

Scopebox - Capture HD direct to your Mac

This is now available for the Mac, allowing direct to disk capture via firewire.

Supports DV and HD, but not HDV yet. It seems to be optimised for the HVX200

Is a 'softer' image necessarily a bad thing? I for one think it gives a more filmic feel - if thats not what you intend the JVC for then perhaps the sharper Canon is more suitable.

One downside of capturing and editing native HDV in FCP is the rendering times - which can very slow. I've hit this wall when I tried to edit a wedding video in native HDV.

Can anybody recommend a good (cheap) capture card to a G5 Mac with PCI bus. Not the PCIe version.

Blackmagic seem to be in my price range, but their HD extreme cards seem to be PCIe only.

Are you sure you need the tripod plate?

I was told this also, but my camera fits the manfrotto 503 head without it. I now have a plate that I don't use. Waste of money if you ask me.
