what do you do with the 15fps video that the vx shoots in progressive mode? or does the vx 2100 shoot 30 fps progressive now?
i still have the vx2000

Yeah, I know that stills from even a $300 digital camera are gonna beat my grabs, and I know that video on TV looks better when shot in interlace (or true 30fps progressive). This works out good for us, as there are only two of us doing everything. Shooting, promoting, updating, building new sites, converting formats, ect. ect ect. Plus when we started back in 1998, we were broke, and every dime of models fees had to count. So being able to grab 100 pics right from the scene worked great.

That's not a problem if you only plan to use the video for web however we want to be able to also use the video for DVD's as well. If you've ever seen a video played on a TV at 15fps then you probably already know that it has a really freaky effect that tends to make you nauseous.

Up until now I've only shot with the web in mind, but have been converting my stuff to DVD format to get ready to start selling them. I've watched my sony progressive video on both a 27'' analog and a 65'' HDTV, and haven't had the effect you're talking about bother me. I know what you're talking about, just never had it bother me. I've given out lots of DVDs to friends too, and they never mention it. Now I DO notice a difference when I put in a interlaced DVD after watching mine, but never during. I think since I shoot niche stuff I shouldn't have any complaints on the DVDs. I'll keep you posted on if anyone ever mentions it.
