HD-DVDsucksmyballs,

Clearly, you have no idea what you're talking about. Shooting RED 4K for distribution in standard def makes perfect sense for a few reasons.

1. Downconverting from a higher res file results in better image quality than if originally shot in lower res. Thus shooting 1080p for standard is better than just shooting standard and shooting 4K for distribution in standard or HD makes a lot of sense.

2. RED has qualities that are very much like film, meaning the image doesn't look like video crap like HDV would produce. However, you are spending far less than film and you have a digital workflow, making this a very viable option.

3. HDV just sucks. It has its uses, but anything beyond super low budget should not be shot on it. As mentioned, it blows for any keying (it's as bad if not worse than miniDV) and it has no dynamic range.

4. Oh yes, RED has support for full 35mm lenses as well as many others, without needing an adapter, such as a super 35 (I think that's the name) for use on a F900.

I think I've made my point.
