UK filmmakers question: How do you deliver 16:9?

[bifter]

Here in the UK broadcasters demand 16:9 delivery - no letterbox.

I would like to ask DVXusers who deliver 16x9 what their preferred workflow is - letterbox & uprez / 4:3 & chop in post / squeeze mode?

(I can't use an anamorphic adapter as I will be using telephoto and wide angle conversion lenses. I've read through the uprez sticky and am still not clear what path to take)

bifter, I don't think theres any hard & fast rules on this one.
1. It depends what your shooting & who its for...
2. Personally i've shot 4;3 and framed for 16;9 when I've had to, wether that's the best method or not I don't know. I'd be interested to hear opinions too.....

Using FCP4, I find I get better results shooting in squeeze rather than doing it in post. You can also see the composition as you shoot.
