DV is DV. Resolution is 720x480 for NTSC and 720x576 for PAL, period. I got the PAL version of the XL1s and there is no way you can capture at any other resolution than the standards. Even if you could it would be faking things (i.e. digital zoom). The image information on the DV tape is stored at those resolutions. FYI: Regular TV resolution is less than those stated above...
