Simply capture HDV and set the timeline rendering option to ProRes 422 is an ideal option for HDV and XDCAM HD material. All effects and transitions are rendered in ProRes anyway. I don't know too many Intel Macs that struggle with HDV these days and transcoding to ProRes seems like a exercise in increasing the size of your project for little little pay off. Why would you want to bother?
