DV - canned and luvley
Well, in my field, martial arts film-making, there are big companies here in UK, and I don't work with them.
They shoot on DV, and their stuff just never gets distributed.
The actors are big, but the production is lame, which is a factor.
I had DV set-up, and sold it all when I went to work in Hong Kong. Don't miss it.
I respect any people who are putting good work together, but not sure DV is going to get that work shown, which is a pity.
Maybe it's better in the States, but I'm co'ing a production with a company in Michigan, and he's havig the same prob:
he's thinking really hard about all he can add to his DV, but he's still not happy.
I think I'm gonna get him to chill out, and go with 35mm in the end.
Good Luck

The DV market has shrunk in the past year because of a glut of material (and much of it bad, bad, bad). Distributors are more likely to look at a film product. Now this does not mean that DV movies don't make it on the shelves. No, I was in Blockbuster a few days ago and saw at least 7-10 features that were shot on DV. Most were horror titles.
Another way to go is a www.customflix.com. They will do the DVD authoring, packaging and set up a website for your film. It looks interesting, but I don't know how well it works.
I think if you make a great movie with good production values, it will sell if it's shot on DV or film.
