Re: How to avoid stretching 4:3 DV material on DVD?

My response is "let them eat cake"

If they don't know how to set up there TV/DVD player correctly who cares what they get.

But when you do this in SD you are degrading the image for people on a 4:3 TV since the Pan and Scan is a distortion up (vs with letterboxing the distortion is down) but this also add another process that you have to do. And there are a lot of people that don't want there big old 16:9 TVs to have black bars on the side so they intentionally stretch the image to fill the screen, by TV has 3 different methods of doing this.

I think HD is a different story and can understand why they did it for those but I think it is a waste of effort to do it on SD but to each their own.

did I say pill box? too many meds these days.
