Given that my PowerBook G4/1.67 will play back 720/24p files from an HVX200, I certainly hope the MacBook Pro will too. Can't remember if I've loaded any 1080i footage.
Note the bigger problem (with the HVX200 at least) is that it only records HD to P2 PC Cards (SD can go to tape), and the MacBook Pro has an incompatible ExpressCard slot (and nothing on the MacBook), so I'm not sure how you'd load your files. The USB based P2 store is flakely on the Mac, in my limited experience. Never looked into it further since I have a PC Card slot on my PowerBook.
