about 18 Litres an hour at 4500rpm.That's around 36L/100kms!

I used to live in the outbacks of Aussie years ago, and thats exactly what some of the old timers used to do. sit around drinking meths.

Yea ya don't know a hard core drinker till you see one on meths.

Good way to get around the booze tax lol

I only care if the car isn't getting the economy that it should be

My Fairmont V8 is 14L/100km around town and I'm very happy :DIt's high but it's correct.

I drive a modified straight 6 turbo. what's fuel economy! It's a foreign concept to me, but I really don't care! Rather drive my car over some boring, characterless Corolla haha

Some standard deifiitnon cameras (or HD cameras that allow you to shoot in SD mode) let you choose your aspect ratio 4:3 or 16:9. But when choosing 16:9 with a standard deifiitnon, your video will still be 720 480 (for NTSC), in most cases, you just get black bars across the top and bottom. It's an artistic effect to make it kind of look like HD.Resolution for standard deifiitnon video is 720 480 for NTSC and 720 576 for PAL.Resolution for high deifiitnon video is 1920 1080 or 1280 720.In other words, you're not increasing your resolution by shooting SD video at 16:9 you still have the same number of pixels.

Ben You mention that staadnrd definition aspect ration is 4:3 and High definition is 16:9. I believe that 16:9 is widescreen rather than high definition. For example, the FS100 camcorder records in 16:9 and is still not high definition did I miss anything? In this case, what would the highest recommended resolution for an FS100 be?BTW, I enjoy your videos and find them valuable!Thanks,Ben

I was just struggling a liltte with this myself, Dave. What's the best editing codec to use for HD .mov files to minimise loss of quality during the editing process (I'm using Zi8/Premiere Pro)? Maybe I'm getting confused here, but I thought mp4 was better as a final output format, and had drawbacks for editing.Tony Page
