I did some testing with PC3’s Inverse Telecine filter with Canon’s HV20 HDV PF24 recoding mode.

Which I posted in ProCoder3 Forum:

The advantage for getting the NX is perfect timeline sync to external monitor with I/O ports and large buffer (compared to 1394 card) in HD. Canopus' HQ files will give you more RT editing power than the native M2T files too.

If I had NX Express can I do the reverse pull down to work with pure 24p, can NX Express handle it?

For reverse pull down ProCoder3 has a "Video Inverse Telecine Filter". Edius4 does have an OHCI HDV 1080/23.98p profile you can test out, myself I don't know. As for the NX outputting 24p, I don't know but I don't think so, as I haven't see any 24p monitors in the "main" market.

I too have the DVStorm and HV20 camcorder and since my finale output is SD DVD, I'm currently capturing 1440x1080 4:2:0 M2T files (via 1394) and with ProCoder3 converting them to 720x480 4:2:2 HQ files to edit with the Edius/DVStorm combo with perfect timeline SD sync and endless RT.

Does any one out here use Grass Valley EDIUS NX Express to edit HV20, HDV video? is it any good?, I have DVStorm2 to edit DV and it has always been stable and good. If I had NX Express can I do the reverse pull down to work with pure 24p, can NX Express handle it?
I would be much obliged if any one has experience with this hardware and the HV20 to post their experience.
