- Dear visitor,
Thank you for your interest in my profile.
My name is Stefan Gottschild, I am originally from Munich (Germany), now living in Buenos Aires (Argentina).
Usually I get my footage during journeys to many places in the world, so that I hope that I can provide you many more clips from distant locations in the future.
With respect to the DV 16:9 anamorphic clips taken with a Panasonic NV-GS 500 (3 CCD miniDV):
-they appear horizontally compressed in their original format (and thus, the 1-frame-previews), but are displayed correctly in widescreen projects (DV, DVD) and on widescreen TVs without letter- or pillarboxes
-they have the same image quality as the 4:3 clips of this camera (Panasonic 3 CCD true 16:9)
- if you need them in 4:3, you can cropp them without quality loss (they look as if they would have been recorded directly in 4:3, due to the nature of the anamorphic pixels).
Watch a 1-frame preview by clicking on the small icon below the preview screen or download a short DV 16:9 sample on my website:

In some other clips you will notice a flickering upper border. These shots have been taken with a Sony TRV 110E (Digital 8) and uploaded in full DV (PAL) resolution. The border is inherent to this camera and not visible on full screen TV playback, but for other applications like e.g. web use it has to be cropped (1% cropping of the height is sufficient).
Best regards,
Stefan
