Um, welcome to HTF? Assuming this isn't a set up for a hit and run spam, I gotta say your questions don't make much sense.
There is no film here, were you meaning to ask a different question?
The latest Bloggie shoots in 1080p HD so yes it would be in Widescreen.

Is that the one you have?

Oh the duo, that's the name of the camera (that's a dumb name but not your fault!)
1920x1080p MP4 HD video w/5MP still images
So yep 3:2 still images and widescreen video.

From one of the reviews on the page I linked:

For video, the settings are: 270 at 30fps, HD 720 at 30 fps, HD 720 at 60 fps (more suitable for sports and other fast action), and full HD 1080 at 30 fps. Files are recorded in MP4 format. Storage space for video recording will vary. For 480x270 (listed as `270' on the Bloggie), you can store up to 8 hours of video. At 720/30 fps this drops to 2 hours, at 720/60 fps 1 hour, or 40 minutes for 1080 mode. What it amounts to is you can record in the lowest HD mode for up to 2 hours. Also, the Bloggie will allow a half hour of continuous recording for any one movie file.

would it be possible to put onto the bloggie duo (model number MHS-FS2). if not, would anyone know what would be the best wide angle lens to put onto a bloggie duo?

here is what i took using my bloggie duo:

The video quality looks pretty decent, Tim. I would suggest taking shorter clips of the better action from a stationary position and editing them together into a shorter video -- something that holds the viewer's interest. I know editing can be tedious -- it's the biggest reason I do not shoot video, as I have no patience to break down the video into usable clips and then construct a video from them. It makes you really appreciate the talent of film editors.

Shorter clips!
Editing is the hardest part of photography and especially of videography. Even folks who know you are unlikely to sit through an hour of bouncing video, focus on stability and getting your point across and showing the most interesting stuff and you are 95% of the way there!

i have not edited the footage yet. when i have some time, i will shorten it to 20 minutes.
