So please post some footage and a setup pic and let us all see how you're achieving this, everyone else says it's not possible.

Just one word...

Why?

CinemaScope/VistaVision looks incredibly stupid on video and computers, it's so tiny. Unless you are projecting anamorphically, this is all just an exercise in mental masturbation, masking and cutting resolution. And if you are projecting, jeez, shoot with a better camera than the 170.

Don't get it. Are there that many wannabe John Fords and David Leans out there? The only way I give it a pass is if you are going to buy everyone in your audience one of the new Philips 21:9 sets, http://provideocoalition.com/index.php/ssimmons/story/when_your_169_tv_isnt_enough_theres_219/ then it would rock. But still, need something better than a 170 (and I say that as a huge fan of the 170) and as someone who has produced two documentaries on the history of VistaVision and Cinemascope.

How do you feel about cropping to 1.85:1 in post then? 1.85:1 has always been my favourite and you don't lose much.
