Real full res XL-2 Footage question

I have seen many links to XL-2 footage but none of them have a file size/duration combination that matches 3.6 megs/seconds.  That means that they may be full resolution with respect to the pixel dimensions, but these clips are NOT native DV. 

I tried bringing a beach clip into Final Cut Pro 4.5 but it still needed rendering.  Obviously it wasn't real DV.  If anyone knows where a real clip like this can be found I would appreciate it.

Note I just re-downloaded the above clip and it is indeed an MPEG 4. To really evaluate XL-2 footage I need to see 16:9 DV footage. A five or ten second clip would suffice.

Does anyone know where I can find any?

The original beach clip was DV format, but I needed to make room to post more stuff so I compressed it to Mpeg 4 at a very high bit rate...the difference is negligible in terms of quality. Recently, apple gave us all a bump in the storage area, so I've posted a new clip in DV for now...you can read about it here (about halfway down the page)

Hey Barry, that footage is excellent. Very impressive. What program do you edit in? Anything special in your processing to adjust colors, etc? Again, really nice. Thanks

Deron--other than the in camera settings listed at dvinfo.net, the footage is just as it came from the camera. I edited it (poorly) in Final Cut Pro.

very nice footage Barry!

I'm still contemplating between the XL2 and the DVX100a
