letterbox?

Is the dvx's letterbox really 1.76 to 1? It seems more 1.66 to 1. I have heard things about hacks that make the letterbox mode 1.85 to 1, is this true?
 
No hacks I'm aware of. Certainly nothing that wouldn't involve cracking the case, and I don't think you want to go down that road, right?

My advice -- forget the letterbox mode entirely. Shoot full frame and crop it however you want in post. If you plan to do anything involving color-correction or various other FX, you're going to end up cropping off the black bars anyway. Better to give yourself a little leeway in framing.
