For final online distribution, encode your final edit to your codec of choice and convert the HD or anamorphic SD frame size to a square-pixel 16×9 aspect ratio, e.g., 720×405, 640×360, 400×226, 320×180, etc. We do this all the time.
A big pet pieve of mine is when someone works in beautiful widescreen format (whether it’s HD, anamorphic SD or letterbox SD) and they encode it for the web in letterbox format. This is wasted resolution and wasted bandwidth. If it’s originally letterbox, crop it out! If it’s originally HD or anamorphic, don’t add it in! The black letterboxing just adds to the file size and makes it look ugly against whatever webpage background there is.

Ahhh, the FW900 CRT… definitely a tried and true computer monitor in the CRT side of things. Especially the prepress world. But eh, you’ll be much happier switching over to LCDs anyway. Unless you were in fact doing prepress on it!
So I’m curious… why the important need to go HDMI? Will this mainly be used for video input or computer screen monitoring?

Heck, I’d be happy if they’d finally add real-time NTSC/PAL output from DVDSP! I’ve only been asking for like the last 5 Christmases! I swear I’ve been a good boy!

Thanks Curtis. Your help is greatly appreciated as always. I’m really determined to get this working in PHP after much thought. It’ll really do exactly what I want in the end.
And hey, are you still in the area? If so, we should go grab lunch again some time. It’s been a long while… we should catch up!
Take care,

Yo Curtis!!!
Nice to hear from ya, bro! Thanks for the reply. Yeah, the values are created at run time when the page loads up. Thanks for the links you provided, especially the PHP one. Since I first posted this thread, I’ve been looking into the PHP route. I’ve found a lot of info on it and I think I might try to go that route. I discovered that PHP can even look at the files in the directory and gather the file names that way which would be really cool since I then wouldn’t even need to do the JavaScript string method. I’ve been avoiding PHP for years, but I don’t know why. Seems like it shouldn’t take too long to adapt.
BTW, what’s a good way to view PHP files locally without having to actually upload them to the server? Kind of a dumb question but is there a plugin I can install so my browsers displays PHP as it should?
