  1. Showreels are rarely accepted on DVD... the norm is VHS with rendered stills in your portfolio. 2. Video size should be 720x480 other wise you can get a nasty black edge. 3. If your aiming at a big company or a specific job then your reel needs to be specific. For example if your an animator then you dont need to render everything out... infact they like to see your rough work to see how you work... if its all rendered and finalised then they cant see jack of your working methods. If your aiming at a small company or a multitasking job then yes show everything rendered, unrendered, all different formats. But always your strongest work. But then as your already working you should know alot of this.
