Exactly. This is what I have discovered with "Die Another Day".
When I get a chance, I hope to compare one or two more flicks in the
same way.

I am not that knowledgeable about all the different ways studios process
movies into 720 x 480 DVD containers. But one of your explanations
reminded me of something ...
I have both WS and FS versions of Narnia. I was very disappointed by
the "wide-screen" version of this movie. It added a wee-bit more
picture left-and-right but gosh, it sure cropped top and bottom of scenes!
One of the few flicks that probably should be watched fullscreen. (Yes
