But the native DV camera, don't waste your time. Or do it for fun, because 99.9% is really underestimating and conservative. It's really 100% for 4:3 NTSC DV.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixel_aspect_ratio
PAR (pixel aspect ratio) is known as "SAR" (sample aspect ratio) in MPEG4 terminology. They mean the same thing, they just decided to change names. You can think of it as the w:h of the pixels . Eitherway 10:11 is correct . It's been confirmed many, many times over the years, and it's official in all the documentation and ISO standards
Here is another recent example from another forum from a DV camera

4/3 = 704/480 * 10/11 |
I don't doubt your expertise and knowledge, but I definitely doubt mine. The video I'm working with is coming from so many sources that I may have miscommunicated, misunderstood, or just plain goofed something in the process. For example - much of it is from the 80's, shot on analog Hi8. Much is Digital8. Some is VHS, shot on god knows what. All of it was passed through a "modern" Sony Digital8, including the VHS (from a TBC VHS to the the SVHS input of the camera, out its firewire to WinDV).
So it's a mixed bag.. and ideally I'd like to at least eliminate any damage I might do to it by goofing the AR. So a quick test (shot using analog Hi8, and some shot on Digital8, both sent to the PC via the same path described previously) may help me to identify any issues I'm introducing through this approach.

And definitely, "archive" is the original DV footage . Keep that safe. Something better might come along (definitely for scaling; but nothing on the horizon in the near future for deinterlacing compared to QTGMC, but you never know, some parts of it can be improved such as the NNEDI3 routines)

Absolutely. See my other reply, I have a plan to store physical and digital media at every stage for the reasons you describe.
