Does HDV Timecode = Downconverted DV Timecode??

A few people were concerned about HD timecode.

OK...so I decided to do a test. I captured some footage in HD mode and took a photo of it with a camera flash.

Let's compare the frame timecode of the Downconverted DV file, and also take a picture of the HD footage on the cameras LCD screen to verify that the flash's BIG BRIGHT frame has the same timecode in HD on the MiniDV cassette as it does in Downconverted DV modes....

I hope those results makes everyone happy. The answer to the subject = YES.

P.S.
#1 The flash you see in frame #18 is from my little camera taking a photo of the lcd screen.
#2 Sorry about the missing frames (#19 & #21) it was a bitch trying to stop the camera dead-on the frames so I can take a snapshot. *smile*

Shannon, I thought we had this answered on the other forum. :-)
I was really struggling in those two threads to get him on track.
thanks for taking the time out to do the pix though, and putting to pictures what we were discussing. Validation is always a good thing.

Yea. Normanlly when you say something and it doesn't stick with people, I go ahead and give 'pictures' to illustrate to the kiddies what you mean. Then I like to post it everywhere so we can lay it to rest. *smile* Just in case nobody sees the post over there.
