Also, while widescreen movies are processed more or less in their
original theatrical form, fullscreen movies have to be separately
RE-processed for FS disk--
Which means the 4:3 version will look slightly blurrier, zoomed-in and
second-generation.

If you bought a DVD player for clarity, fullscreen movies bring you
right back to the VHS.
