I used a different drive, but it was the same model with the same formatting. The only difference was that the previous drive had about 100 gbs out of 300 used up, and the new one was empty. The empty one worked with no problems. Confusing.

The drive is not full. It is formatted NTFS, which has worked fine until now–is that the problem?

That is NOT what I am doing. I am not stretching anything. I am shooting in 16×9 squeeze mode and watching it on a monitor in 16×9 mode.
I want to shoot a true 16×9 image and squeeze it into a 4×3 letterboxed frame–I have no problem doing this with my XL2. Are you saying the DVX 100 can not shoot 16×9 footage capable of being displayed as both true 16×9 and 4×3 letterbox?–because that is hard to believe.

We are currently still finishing in a 4×3 letterbox format–that is why I use the avid reformat. Ideally we would like to shoot true 16×9 for when we eventually start finishing to true 16×9.
I also notice the same problems without Avid’s involvement–when I watch the footage on a Sony Monitor in 16×9 mode, off a deck, it still has the same issues: ripples, shadows on edges, and an overall soft image.

I wish I would have read this sooner or done better research… I have a relatively small project, but I need to finish to beta, so far the only thing I can think of is making a quick time movie and then importing that into an SD project, but that doesn’t seem like a very good way of going about it…

I have run into the same problem–did you ever solve this?

Thank you for the information.

The lcd monitor built into the camera is not showing it in letterbox–it is a showing a stretched image as if I were viewing it on a 4×3 screen. The monitor I have been viewing it on after the fact has 16×9 capabilities–as does Avid when I import it, both of which display the image distortions I attempted to describe previously.
It is good to know that the camera should be displaying it in differently… I took the camera in once already and they said there wasn’t anything wrong… but my eyes tell me otherwise…

Thank you! Worked like a charm.

Thanks for all of the great information. Definitely something I will hang onto for future reference.
