[11thIndian] “So, besides being highly compressed, HDV is also stretched horizontally to fit the 1920×1080 frame?”
Well those 2 things are one and the same.
Almost all of the HD formats do some type of horizontal squeeze when laying to tape.
you need to read the “understanding HD broadcast formats” in the FCP help section of the manual.

[walter biscardi] “Not sure if it’s still the same, but I was told by an engineer two years ago that all Plasma screens were made by two companies and just branded with the various nameplates.”
pretty much the same nowadays too,
I was told that 99%+ of LCDs are LG or Samsung.Gary Adcock

[gary adcock] “Toke – this is not correct”
Actually Toke you were correct — I miss spoke and got them backwards –HDV does use Inter-frame compression — DVCPROHD uses intra-frame.

[toke lahti] “Even if hdv’s interframe compression is a bit more efficient, it also produces “movement error””
Toke – this is not correct, all HDV uses intra-frame compression- where the compression is computed across more than one frame from as little as 6 to as many as 15 frames – this is where the “movement error” you speak of. DVCPROHD uses inter frame compression – or every frame is compressed individually without regard to the adjacent frame.
