I remember somone posted not too long ago saying they had an video interview with D.T.? Is it possible that this could be shared?

Hi deleted
That would be me. It's not a long interview but interesting all the same. I am working away at the moment but will let you know when it's ready to be posted.

Ok, thanks.

Hope it was worth the wait. I edited the footage in 16x9 instead of 4:3. IF it annoys anyone i will re do it if you let me know.
Sorry it took so long.

Thank you very much for posting it! That was great.

may I ask why it appears to be...squished? I thought 16:9 was wide.

16:9 looks squished when forced into a 4:3 aspect ratio. Since YouTube is expecting 4:3, it forces it into that "squished" aspect ratio.

Too bad YouTube (and for that matter most camcorders) won't automatically letterbox a 16:9 image.

Ah, ok. I didn't know that, thanks for the info.
