set to output 16:9 the 4:3 material is anamorphic with or without the
extra resalution. when set to output 4:3 it is fullscreen without the
squeeze. witch still brings up my original question-why not make
everything on the dvd anamorphic like anchor bay dvd's insted of this
bits and pieces switch screen modes for every thing you watch aproach
all the othert studios take. therefore people with 4.3 tv's can have
there screens filled and people like me with 16:9 tv's dont have to
switch modes for every thing on the disc we can just keep it on
widescreen for the whole disc > Steve
