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

[Deon Kay]

Squeeze mode is what's known as anamorphic in FCP, so all you have to  
do is import as anamorphic and set your timeline accordingly and it'll  
stretch it out for you to proper aspect ratio. You're right in that it  
is also the highest quality choice for 16:9 standard def.
