Answer 1

I'm not familiar with that specific camera, but in general, the editing is not important as long as you render in a format that the TV can handle.  Always render n the native format of the TV - if 720 p render that way, if 1080i render that way.  If you are going to "render up", then make sure you de-interlace (e.g. 1080i ==> 1080p)...

By the way, you'll have better results with a computer based editor.  I use Vegas (PC) for home stuff, Avid (Mac) for client stuff.
