[QUOTE="adam71, post: 1256335, member: 549079"] I disagree whole heartedly. To fit both apect ratios of the movie on one DVD then they're compressing an already compressed disc far too much. I would rather have the extra space on a disc used for useful things like adding DTS along with Dolby Digital or making it a Superbit DVD. Movies are made originally for the widescreen that you see in theaters NOT for your 4:3 Tv screen. I have an older 31" Tv that is square and I would rather have it letterboxed than full screen. When you make a movie that was originally made for the widescreen and make it 4:3 you are chopping off the sides of the original picture. You are actually losing information on the sides that you would have seen at the theater. I buy NOTHING but widescreen DVDs because when I finally do get my widescreen HDTV I sure as hell don't want to have to buy a bunch of DVDs all over again. [/QUOTE]
