Since my last post earlier, I have researched the HV20 which appears a good machine. My aim is to use it with iMovie HD 06. Does anyone know if I can record to the Macbook in HD format and then burn to normal DVD. If the answer is yes, would the quality of the DVD better than from a camera recorded in standard def? Secondly does the HV20 offer TRUE widescreen?

1. I don't use a Mac, but I know iMovieHD can edit HDV, so I'd assume it can also downconvert. Regardless, the HV20 itself can downconvert to SD as an option.

2. Quality of a SD DVD produced from the HV20 will be similar to using a very good SD model.

3. Yes, the HV20 is true/native widescreen.
