Hey everybody I have quick question regarding both HD and standard video clips in iMovie '09 and whether the final video clip will be HD in the HD parts or if it'll use the lowest common video quality denominator and be "high quality" when all is said and done?

On my HD camcorder (Sanyo VPC-CG10) video clips are in .mp4 and when I've uploaded them to YouTube they've been in HD quality. But I just made a video with iMovie and with some standard clips and the video came out in .mpv, so I'm also wondering if this has any bearing on the quality. And if I should have just chosen the HD export feature.
