ok thanks, i've posted it as a new thread in the general hd acquisition forum. we'll see if anybody has some answers as to why this isn't done.

This video was shot with a 5D Mark II and has visible jellocam, but it interesting how little it affects the viewing experience.

You're right, I wouldn't even have noticed it if you hadn't mentioned it.
I wonder if it's because of this particular subject matter, high octane, keeps the eye too busy to notice any issues?
