First feature help

[jaserin2000]

Hi, some friends and I are making our first feature film, using a Sony HD camera and Sony Vegas Pro 8.0 for editing. We have no plans to output the film in HD format, but we are wondering if we should record in HDV or Standard DV. Will the HDV format give us a better picture? Also, are there any drawbacks to using Vegas to edit a feature?

You should film in hdv format.
Most people edit features with Vegas.

Why do you say that most edit with Vegas? Is that what you use?
