We are starting a rather large DVD project that was shot entirely in HD (720p). The only reason we shot all HD is to preserve the ability to go to TV in HD later. I would rather not load 25 hours of HD into a project thats going to be a DVD product. If I made the DVD's in SD and retained the entire project file. Would there be any way to return to it and create the same project in HD without re-capping? Or, is there a better solution im not thinking about.

I would capture in HD, edit in HD (in preparation for the TV HD version), and then render to standard MPEG2 for the SD DVD.

yes I thought you'd say that....thank you. Boy it would be nice to "hit a switch"
