Re: Full resolution only needed for large screen?
Squeeze mode is really pretty good. It delivers as high-resolution a 16:9 image as a PDX-10 "native" 16:9 camera. It's not as good as the anamorphic, but it's really a pretty good choice overall. The bigger you view it, the more noticeable the resolution loss, so on a small screen it'd be harder to tell the difference between squeeze & anamorphic.

Wow, really? Good to hear. I thought that the PDX10 had about the same res as the DVX so if you take 25% away from the DVX you are lower res. I would imagine that the DVX would still look better anyway.

Re: Full resolution only needed for large screen?
The DVX, in progressive-scan mode, has about 33% MORE resolution than the PDX10. So you lop 25% off the DVX in squeeze mode and you end up at about the same: 350 lines of resolution. Plus the DVX has the advantages of having larger CCD's, better image controls, and all the other benefits of it being a DVX...

I'd say on a 20" screen or smaller, it might be hard to tell the difference between anamorphic and squeeze. On a 50" or 70"? It should be easily noticeable.
On the new DVD I'm going to shoot some anamorphic and squeeze side-by-side footage so you can judge for yourself whether the difference is "worth it".

I'm stealing it from my DVXUSER posting allotment...
No, seriously, this is what I do for my day job, so I'm treating it like as if it was a client's job who came to me looking for it. Hopefully it'll sell enough to justify the time it takes to make, because in this case I'm doing it entirely on spec...
