Just before you 'close this thread' can I just say that I have found that even if I shoot in HDV or even full uncompressed HD when I downscale to DV for exhibition purposes the resulting picture quality is superior to what I used to get shooting DVCAM. So we don't, in my opinion, need to rush about trying to show HDV tapes until they are much more widely acceptable but if we can, and want to, we can improve the final resultant DV (or DVD), by shooting in HDV or HD.
By the way we at Finchley Film Makers recently spent a morning testing all our material and formats in the local Phoenix Cinema where they have installed £60,000 worth of kit to show digital media. The pictures from most formats looked incredibly good and the best could easily be mistaken (certainly by your average 'punter') for 35mm film!

Um ... I don't like to even think this, let alone write it ...
According to "How Stuff Works" website, NHK Science and Technical Research Laboratories is developing a successor to HD.
The frame size proposed is 7680 x 4320 (16 to 9 ratio) with a frame rate of 60 per second in progressive mode. Oh and for sound they are going beyond 5.1 systems towards 22.2 speaker systems ...
Standard 35mm film frame has an effective equivalent resolution of between 5 & 7 Megapixels depending on the emulsion. This UHDTV stuff has a resolution of about 33 Megapixels!
Can I hire a fork-lift truck to carry the cassette please?
