DVX100 compression

That doesn't really help. :)

If DV is shot, processed, and encoded well, it can look as good as the DVDs you watch on an HDTV.

Shot, processed, and encoded poorly, it can look like God-awful crap.
 
david is absolutely correct...cuz i'm kinda confused at your question. i'm going to believe that you don't know that DV is a 5:1 compression and stores more info than what you see on a commercial DVD which is MPEG compression. heck i believe even divX is 11:1 so just looking at the figures you should believe that your DV will look fine...now you mention "stretching" yes the image will be pulled out because it's 4x3 and you are displaying it on a 16x9 screen, but the quality won't suffer.

is that what you meant?
