  RE: Framesize settings for Video 8/Hi8 capture - both in 4:3 and 16:9
  @shgrude I assume Camcorders work on the same principle as DSLRs. In which case a 16:9 ratio is a digital crop of the 4:3 sensor. So in effect less photosites are recorded from in the 16:9 image so the top and bottom are effectively gone. The only

  @Jim_H If you rendered them into an AVI format (as opposed to DV-AVI) they will be bigger. DV-AVI is 13gb/hour, whereas for example Lagarith (a lossless AVI format), is 30gb per hour. It will be better quality than a comparable DV-AVI export. In
