Re: Taping LCD to 16:9
i would just connect my DVX to my NLE via firewire and output a 16:9 letterboxed image. open the lcd and tape it according to this. i don't think the kind of tape would really matter, but you could try even using a transparent or semi-transparent tape in order to see what's hiding in your "would be" cropped area. you could also use the internal letterboxing via the camera setup menu, but apparently that is slightly innacurate when compared to true 16:9. i doubt the small size of the LCD would really discern between the two though... after all taping your LCD is an approximation any way.

Re: Taping LCD to 16:9
thanks!
that is the post i was talking about. i keep meaning to take that illustrator template and make a new overlay for my lcd, i especially like the 1/3rd grid markers, it helps to frame the shot with actual 1/3 markers vs. imaging it.
i should get a giant sheet of that static clear stuff and put the same 1/3 markers on my sony monitor. it already of course has the 16:9 and underscan.
