When importing HD video to MYDVD and I select MP2 or even AVI from my Hi def camera it says resolution is 720X480 should it not be 1440x1080? What am I doing wrong?

What kind of hidef camera?  or camcorder? And why are you using MyDVD?  Sounds like you chose a standard definition MyDVD project.  If you are going to do any editing, we recommend starting with Videowave.

My camera is a Sony HDR-HC3. I am trying it the way you are telling me. When I go to capture HD footage in Videowave my capture settings still come up at 720x480. Should the settings switch to 1440x1080? I am importing HD video. It does not matter the setting I choose either AVI or MPEG2

I have the Canon HV20 which uses the same format and it works fine. Are you using firewire?  Is the HC3 in 'playback' mode?  Make sure the camcorder is set to TAPE and not to memory stick.  

Oh yeah, I had the Sony HC7 and if I remember correctly, you have to manually set it to HDV playback when capturing.  When it is set to 'auto', the computer may not recognize the tape as HDV.  See page 65-66 in your manual.

(see page 66) There is also a HDV->DV convert.  Where HDV is automatically converted to DV if it is turned on (iLink CONV).  Maybe you have that turned on?
