I'm editing before burning onto DVD

Thanks for the reply. With the first project I've imported 4 MiniDV tapes (4hrs-worth at SP), to the MAC, where I will edit them to a form for subsequent burning to DVDR. Before burning, I'll have to select a transfer quality mode. Since they were recorded in SP by the camera, would SP then be the way to go? I know digital, if it stays digital, should be either right or wrong. But I'm wondering why, or how the choice of recording mode will affect the visual outcome. I don't want to do anything that would compromise the quality already on the tape (now on the HD). I'd prefer SP because of the 2-hr capacity, but will use the highest setting if that's what I'll really need to get it all.

I'd just experiment, but this is already turning out to be more work than I'd anticipated, and I'm trying to learn as much as I can to avoid as many mistakes as possible.
