Respectfully, I would disagree with that statement. On a 'plain vanilla' edittign station it's certainly true, but with the right system it's no trouble at all and from the tests I've made personally I prefer the picture quality when I capture HDV from my Sony FX1, edit in HDV and then export out as MPEG2 for DVD production.

I do! Cost is a significant factor and I won't be cutting blu-rays disks for personal use until they are more affordable. But at least I have my HDV projects so all that's needed is a new export when I do want blu-ray.
in the meantime I export M2T files and send them to my TV. Not quite the same as they are only mbps bitrate but it beats SD hands down on my PS3.
Just my 2p
