nope, the only groups that actually film things themselves are ORC and maVen (although i have my doubts about maven after dukes of hazzard). but these groups use either really good 1CCD camcorders (red and green pixels everywhere in dark scenes on mavens releases) or fairly ordinary 3CCD camcorders. the only groups using HD cameras are boris and his gang in russia, making all the so-called telecines.
everyone else (prevail, fuck, hydro, hookah, etc) are using crappy-ish silvers from the streets of NYC (or in fuck's case, the streets of england)

i have a 3 chip miniDV . . . some cams look like they were recorded with vhs :P
yeh i think they actually are, fun with dick and jane from hydro looks very '8mm' ish to me. also, its from the same guys as the king kong cam which was a 3 hour movie, and as far as i know theres no tape change. minidv tapes last no longer than 2 hours

the difference between compression and encoding is:
compression software works the same way as trying to get The 404, who is 350lbs, through a normal door. its method is to basically keep kicking The 404 until he gets thru the door. This works quickly, but leaves a nasty mess.
encoding software is the equivalent of The 404 going on a diet and walking thru the door. takes longer and sometimes more skill, but ultimately worth it.
