Are there variations of widescreen DVD?
Help me out here. I borrowed a DVD from a friend that is listed as "wide screen," but it has black bars on top and bottom. Is there a format that keeps the aspect ratio on an HDTV that's widescreen already?
|
Because the DVD was filmed in Theatrical aspect not the 16:9 of your HDTV.
|
Several widescreen aspect ratios. The most common is 1.85:1 and 2.35:1. Chances are you're watching one that's 2.35:1.
What movie is it? Is the image you're seeing correct with the letterboxing, or does the image seem squished or stretched in some way? |
2.35:1 will always have black bars on a television. This is because it is wider than the display, which is 16:9 (16:10).

You're just now noticing this?
:) I've got one DVD that the picture is a 1.85:1 but it insists on playing with black bars all around, like it's shrunk down. Pisses me off. |

As a corollary, I thought we were way past this "I don't like black bars on my TV" bullshit? |

I've never seen Kubrick's "Fece Lyndon" film.
