HVR-V1P Sony Cam & Edit Questions

    Hi all,

   I have the Sony HVR V1P and have been recording in HDV mode and am thinking of switching to DV mode.  Somewhere in the editing process I have been losing the HD which is evident when I post to Youtube although I cannot complain about the vision (good quality) .  Can anyone tell me the pro's and con's of HDV and DV?  I use Pinnacle Studio 14 Ultimate Collection, I have a computer with 2Gb ram and 3Ghz CPU which I know is not optimal but until recently has not been a problem.  Just lately it's starting to do strange things and takes ages to render. I have deleted auxillary files which I was told should be done regularly to clear space.  I don't have many programs running and have saved past projects to an external hard drive.  Any help would be appreciated.

   I occasionally do sub-contract work for a production house, their specifications require we shoot in HDV and they edit in DV.

    Always shoot HDV unless I am told not to. Seldom do I edit in HD. I would rather look at letterboxed imagery than oldschool square and, just like scaling an image up softens it, I like that scaling it down makes it crisper, hiding the 5:1 compression big time. I use the letterbox for graphics and such much of the time. It's always up to the client but I don't even ask anymore.
