I posted this as part of another thread but have not received any answers.
I read about using a sequence with uncompressed 8-bit standard def with anamorphic as an option for downcoverting from hdv. I'm using fcp5 and don't see that as an option - just uncompressed 8-bit without anamorphic.
Any solutions will be greatly appreciated.

Just tick 'Anamorphic' in the browser.

thanks, wasn't aware of that option in browser. All the other options are in drop down menu when opening sequence.
