I confirm that the short black line (about 20 pixels long) is captured on Premiere (Windows), iMovie (Mac), Windows Movie Maker (Windows) and Final Cut Pro (Mac) from my MX350 in frame mode. This line will not be visible on TV, thanks to overscan, but will be visible on VCD and DVD played on computer.

I hope some Panasonic technician can read this an explain why...

Copy and paste your post to an e-mail for Stuart. It's better that you do it than me.

Yup, I think I should do that.

Interesting that in the Panasonic workshop here in Singapore, I tried to replicate the same 'problem' but the Panasonic capture software seems to be able to hadle this 'line' properly.
