Can I covert 480i to 1080p and edit with new 1080p footage?

I have a Surf Video shot 4 years ago at 720x480 30i (mini-dv) and I want to add more footage to it. I shot on a Panasonic ag-dvx 100 and edited on my G5 with Final Cut 4. I will be buying a Panasonic hvx200 and a Mac Pro.
My simple question is can I up convert the 480 30i footage to 1080 30p and edit it Final Cut 7 and can I mix in new footage shot 1080 30p?
My more difficult question is: I understand I will have black boxes on the sides of the footage if I can upconvert, but the footage I have in 4:3 would actually look better in 16:9 if I lose the existing top and bottom of the frame (mostly blue sky). So could I make the conversion and also "zoom in" to fill the 16:9 frame with the 4:3 footage? Is that possible? And if it is possible... would it look really bad?
Thanks!

It's not a simple question at all. Depends on your budget for upconverting software, your tolerance for pixelation, your ability to stylize your older work creatively, and your release medium..
Upconverting is easily researched on Google. There are two processes, one is a simple expansion and the other relies on the creation of pixels where there none. Takes a lot of time and the best tools are not free.
However, there's no need to upconvert your old SD footage if you're going to downconvert your new HD footage on the way to a conventional SD DVD.

      I have a Sony HVR-V1P, can i successfully capture and edit with Final Cut Pro X

    My HVR-A1U was able to capture just fine.  The only issue I had is that it has mroe frequently than FCP 7 ever did find Timecode breaks and split my clip apart.  I never had breaks before, so while it is possible I had them on this latest tape, I think X is just more picky.  I mean heck, it found three in a one minute timeframe.  My A1U worked with X without me needing to adjsut any settings form how I had it setup for 7.

    If you mean the application, then definitely not possible.

    Windows 7 with Service Pack 1, Windows 8, or Windows 8.1*

    It is not possible to delete an apple id completely. You can only delete information like credit card, adress, name... To do this, go to iTunes Store, click on your email adress in the upper right corner and enter your password. Now you can manage your account.
    An apple id without password is not possible.

  • Is it ok to leave my old photos in Aperature and start with new photos in Lightroom?  MacPro with 2 x 2.26 Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor, 6 GB memory, 1 TB harddrive.

    Is it ok to leave my old photos in Aperature and start with new photos in Lightroom?  MacPro with 2 x 2.26 Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor, 6 GB memory, 1 TB harddrive?
    Or should I transfer them to Lightroom?

    That's really a personal preference. Support for Aperture is coming to an
    end and you may find yourself unable to get to theses photos in the future
    in the case of a HDD crash if you can't get the software to reinstall.
    Faced with that prospect, I would probably put it on my list of things to
    do when I am feeling really bored and looking for something to amuse myself
    with. You can export your Aperture photos in their original format to a
    folder on your desktop and then import them into Lightroom. Use the copy
    option on the import to save the photos in a new folder within your
    Lightroom catalog.

    1) Is it a video clip? Something you recognize?  To be clear, it's displaying at a point in your exported movie but doesn't appear at all in the sequence?
    2) What are your sequence settings?  Right-click your sequence and choose "Item Properties" to verify.
