Best Way to Downconvert HDV Footage in Final Cut Pro

[element80]

I have some HDV footage I need to downconvert. I've been told that FCP's downconverting isn't very good. Any suggestions on what to use? How's Compressor's?

If you have a Sony HDV, you can do it through the camera.

Not all of them. The footage was shot on a prosumer camera, but the only camera I have access to now is a consumer HDV, which I'm pretty sure doesn't have downconversion capabilities.

FCP and Compressor both do great jobs at downconverting. Not sure where you hear FCP doesn't do a good job. It does an excellent job.
