I know there have been some posts on this in the past... just wanted to make sure I had the most current thought on rendering SD into HDV.
I've been working for about a year and a half on a documentary on a Holocaust survivor. After about a year of planning schedules, one of the scenes I was finally able to tape was this man/wife getting together for a meal and discussion with his children and grandchildren. I had hired a 3rd cameraman who had a Canon XL-H1, and he asked me at the beginning if he should shoot in 16:9. Not being familiar with the camera I didn't know that there was a switch giving him the options of "SD, 16:9, or HD." My other two camera are HDV, so I assumed (wrong on my part, I know) that he was asking did I want him to tape in HDV 16:9 or HDV 4:3. But he chose the 16:9 option out of the 3, but it's not HDV.
So I have this amazing gathering of a Holocaust survivor with his two generations after him, but the only camera with footage of his granddaughters is in SD. Now the whole remainder of the documentary is HDV. What would be the best method to up-rez that particular footage: 1) just import it into the veg and when it's rendered, allow the render setting to up-rez it into 1440 x 1080, 2) when I capture the footage via Cineform HD-Link, capture it as HDV? Or is there another option I'm not aware of?
