I use Premiere Pro 2 to capture from my A1 HDV. I have the trial version of Aspect HD. Do I have any other choices except for paying $500 for Cineform Aspect HD?

Well, you could edit native m2t, or use huffyuv or another visually lossless codec (mind you the file sizes will be *huge* and you better have a RAID system)

But really? Aspect is worth the money.

Moved from Canon XH to CineForm.

Just download a trial of Cineform Aspect HD. You'll understand right away why people love Cineform. It's a great wavelet codec.
