[Frameworks] Question on: Panasonic DVX 100BE 16:9 format

[Stefanos Pavlakis]

Hello Frameworkers, 


I am starting a project tomorrow and just found out that it will be with a Panasonic DVX 100BE camcorder. 
I would like to shoot in 16:9, but in the manual there are two options: 'letter box' seems to simply put black bars on top and bottom of a 4:3 image (is this so?) 
And squeeze...Is that the best 16:9 choice without loss of resolution? 
And how would I import it in and later export it from Final Cut? 
Import normally as a PAL 16:9 format (I am working in Europe)? 
And export as quick time conversion H263 for 16:9? 

Is that correct? 
Can anybody suggest the correct choices to be made, if the one's above aren't ideal? 


Best wishes to all and many thanks to those with answers!!! 

Stefanos
