Hello!
I have another thread started covering a different topic that got me reading further on this question below and without finding a clear answer, I figured I'd start a new thread and ask the question that has been on my mind for sometime...
If I need to shoot widescreen (16:9) using my DVX at 24pA...do I use SQUEEZE mode or LETTERBOX or FULL SCREEN 4:3 mode?
A helpful member suggested I use 4:3 and then crop to fit as SQUEEZE mode will introduce a lot of crappy artifacts. I've also read that the answer is "debatable". So, I ask what's the debate? There are a lot of DVX users with extensive green screen experience on this site and I'm curious which setting they use.
I will soon get a HVX200 to end this debate, but until that day comes, I'm using the following:
Thank you all!

- DVX100B (I've been using SQUEEZE at 24p with detail set to THIN...I'll be switching to 24pA for my next green screen shoot)
- Final Cut Pro 6
- Red Giant Primatte Keyer Pro 4.0
- I out put to both FLV webfiles and to DVD
Thank you all!
