FX1 - what project specs.

I was just wondering... probably a stupid question.

If I am shooting in HD on my FX1, what should my project setting be at for an exact match to the native resolution my camera is at?

Is it HDV 1080-60i (1440x1080, 29.970 fps)
or
HD 1080-60i (1920x1080, 29.970 fps)

If it is 1440x1080 - would you notice a difference good or bad by rendering it in blu-ray 1920x1080i?
My default project setting is the 1440x1080 but I was asked the other day by a client if this is "Full HD" (meaning the 1920x1080).
I never considered what my camera was actually shooting at.

full hd can mean a bunch of stuff,, most recently 1080p for tv sales. My little hc3 cam has a sticker on it full hd,,
not sure about your bluray question

FX-1 exact matching is HDV 1080-60i (1440x1080, 29.970 fps). I always use the 1920X1080 project settings and render to the corresponding 1920X1080 blu-ray template. Vegas will automatically resize the video accordingly - of course you won't get smart rendering this way if you don't adjust anything.

thanks for the info...
would I notice any significant difference rendering it to 1920x1080 or not enough to notice?
