I started thinking about how mpeg such as the kind used in HDV uses interframes and how that limits where you can edit video, did a search and came up with the following link:

Does anyone know how this will affect editing HDV video in Vegas? Is there a "every frame clearly defined" format for HDV resolution video that would make editing at places other than every sixth frame or so possible? It seems like such a mode might also be easier on the CPU. Does this situation mean that captured HDV footage might need to be time consumingly rendered into some other form before it being edited? It seems to me that the only other option would be to limit Vegas's access to edit points which would be the fully drawn frames which would give you something like 5 edit points per second. I do a lot of editing to the beat of music, and I'd hate to have to drop down to that kind of timing resolution for my edits!
