I've got a video-shoot to undertake soon and would like some pointers from Canon XL1s camcorder users.
I will be filming a job interview - static scene with 2 people taking - plenty of time to setup lighting, microphones, tripod etc., but would the captured dv footage be better quality if I record in "FRAME" mode (quasi progressive) or normal (interlaced) mode.
The end result is for web-streaming *.wmv or a downloadable mpeg1 for PC viewing.
The clip is no more than 4 mins. Will be edited in Adobe Premier Pro 1.0 or Canopus Let's Edit 2 RT+
Any suggestion most welcomed.
I thought frame mode would be better as it's going to end up been viewed on a progessive monitor?
Thanks.

For web streaming and PC playback frame mode will be best.

Frame Mode.
It's a no brainer. The biggest problem with Frame mode is camera shake, using a tripod will take care of that.

Why would camera shake be a problem with frame mode on a progressive display? The only problem I see with frame mode is with fast action shots -- you get more fluid motion with 60 fields per second compared to 30 (or 24) frames per second. And that's only on interlaced displays of course.

Because any movement is more dramatic with 30p vs 60i. For the same reason footage shot from a digicam @ 15 fps looks so jumpy.
Motion is the biggest problem, but it's a bigger problem with Progressive footage or a lower frame count. I shoot both Frame Mode (30p) and Normal Mode (60i). I prefere Frame Mode, but have to be real carefull controling camera shake.
