Never hurts to shoot HDV and down convert as long as your system can handle it. Much better pic, and if you need to crop anything, you can drop the hdv into a dv timeline and move it around.

Well, you don't have to always be at 1.4f. There will be a varying amount of f-stops to choose from. They just tell you what the widest one is. It'll likely be:
1.4

2.8
4
5.6
8
11
16

The rule of thumb for music is if people have to pay to see it, you have to pay to play it. If its just for friends and such it doesn't matter.

Shoot at 1/50, this will produce the most natural motion. If you absolutely have to, shoot 1/25, but be prepared for strobing. Generally the rule is to double the FPS, and that's your shutter. For...

Yeah, you're going to use the 1080 60i HDV preset for capture and timeline. The 30p is recorded in 30p and converted to 60i, so that's the preset you use. Should work great.
