Can I edit HDV in real time?
Of course you can. With the Cineform ConnectHD codec, you will have the 29.97 or 24p with 3:2 pulldown that you are already used to. It will edit quickly and easily. There is a lot of speculation about this, but the truth is, with an upper end processor and a fair amount of RAM, you should notice little difference between editing HDV and DV. And depending on the application you’re using, you may not need the additional RAM.
