Puggo: Would it be possible to replace the lens you have now with an anamorphic one, if someone could loan you one for this project, so the print could be captured in an anamorphic resolution/aspect ratio (not sure what the correct technical term here is), and thus be anamorphically enhanced on the eventual DVD transfer?

I believe not. Check out www.moviestuff.tv and look up the 16mm Workprinter. I doubt that an anamorphic lens is compatible with the large projection lens positioned after it. The best I can do is capture the entire image full frame (which would be vertically stretched, I believe), and then change the aspect ratio in post. Thus one dimension would be full resolution, and the other wouldn't. It still should look pretty good... I'd have to learn how best to encode for anamorphic playback. I'm sure there are people here who could help me with that.
