I was wondering if it was just me... didnt' want to say anything as Rob doesn't like me very much... but here's the weird part.

On my PC it looks just fine.... on my Mac.. I ran it with Quicktime and with Windows Media Player 9 and they are all compressed (left and right).. I am thinking it has something to do with the files working in the expanded (rectangular) pixel aspect but being rendered in the square aspect???? Don't know... kind of odd to have the 2 computers though and looks fine on one and not on the other. Made me go back and look at some of my HD source video and it seems fine on both.

i just ran a few of those FTVGirls clips on my 13" widescreen viao and they looked super!

Aspect ratio is off in the FTV samples. It displays as 4:3.

You're right. The aspect ratio is incorrect in those videos. Many HDV cameras shoot in 4:3 (1440x1080) with a pixel aspect ratio of 4:3 (i.e., non square pixels). It's a bit confusing at first and it's a common mistake. The actual size you see on your display is the 'raw' pixels * the pixel aspect ratio. So if you have 1440x1080 'raw' pixels and each pixel has a 4:3 ratio, then the final result is a 1920x1080 video (1440*(4/3) =1920), which is 1920x1080 with a total aspect ratio of 16:9). If you have VLC player installed, you can change the pixel aspect ratio to 16:9 and the videos look great.

Hopefully Alison Angel is also getting the 8000kbit/s 1920x1080 videos?

HD at that bitrate and resolution is a bitch to edit though.

bumping the HD...
Rob and anyone, tell me which HD/HDV camera you shoot with and why you love it or not..

What type of projector are you using? I have a 150in 16/9 screen and am using a CRT Sony. Looks amazing at 1080p.

We've used an HVX for a little over a year. The main reason we shoot HD is for the future value of our content... in 3 or 5 years time, hi-def content that's true HD (as opposed to HDV) will almost certainly be more valuable than SD or HDV content.

There is a noticeable difference between DVCPro-HD, the Panasonic codec which is 100Mbits/sec, and HDV, which is 25Mbits/sec. More data, more resolution, better color depth. BUT... after you've downconverted to Windows Media for the web (or Quicktime or H.264 or whatever), much of the difference is lost.

The one other thing we've found... the Panasonic "film gamma" setting (on both the DVX camera that is standard DV video and the HVX) makes for really amazing, film-looking video. We started using it about 8 months ago, and our members have commented on the improved quality of our videos. Also, our members seem to like the native 16x9 format, and we've switched all our videos, including those still shot in regular DV, to 16x9.

The footage looks sick. Your male talent/camera must be a big dude because those cameras weigh a fucking ton! Gotta watch dust though, you can see spots everywhere when you use those things in HD, check the smudge on clip 3.
