but you're speaking as an intelligent movie fan ( i assume).
given that when dvd was invented it wanted to be mass market, and there was
no certainty that it would be, it's surprising the dvd forum didnt make it
mandatory.
it's just 1 byte after all - and then 16:9 movies get cropped to 4:3, 2.35:1
become 16:9.
those of us who like films as intended are happy, people with a 'fill my
screen' fixation are too.
