There is currently a submission changing The Color of Money (UPC 717951-004277) from non-anamorphic to anamorphic.

Using Cyberlink PowerDVD with the settings on "Keep aspect ratio", here is what I have:



As you can see, the left and right is cropped.

By comparison, here is a known Anamorphic title (captured using the same settings):



Plus, every review I've read that mentions the video quality mention that it's non-anamorphic:

DVDTalk
DVD Authority
DVDMG
All Movie

Currently my vote is the only no vote, but I'm pretty sure this is a non-ana title.

Thanks!

I'll double check that when I get home, as well as checking on my home system (that's the only thing I haven't done).

This movie is reported to be 4:3 Letterboxed by PowerDVD, contrary to the contributors assertions.  When you play the movie it displays as Alien indicted above and you can clearly see the 4:3 aspect ratio with  "not quite black" bars both above and below the picture (as well as on both sides.

Definitely a non-anamorphic film.

Special note there are numerous tools that report this as 16 X9, however that is not the point. If you b other to read the previous the notes changing it to letterbox there was absolutely NO DOCUMENTATION to support the users claim. Ire peat there was NO DOCUMENTATION to support the claim, there fore it should NEVER have been approved to begin with, the Rules require data changes to documented. All that is being done is restoration to the previous settings which were documented many years using numerous tools, and not something simply based on some users undocumented opinion. Now am I surprised that AR missed the point positively not, he votes for undocumented changes quite often in fact.
I will quote the notes supplied by the previous user who made the change
"Once again removed 16x9 enhancement. Back cover erroneously lists it as anamorphic but it is not."

Now correct me if I am wrong but there is no documentation there and the Contribution should not have been accepted. I know the numerous tools that were used to decipher the data to begin with and that was provided to then Intervocative in the original notes. If you can't provide documentation to support the claim of changed data then it is NOT to be accepted. I look forward to Ar's change since he understands so little about any of the possible tools that can be used and obviously is satisfied with user guesses...I am not, if you want to provide data change then you follow the Rules and document it, not provide an idiotic note as above, that is worthless

If you are checking by a tool, make sure to check the right thing. There are lots of titles out there with widescreen menus and fullscreen content.

No matter how you spin it, the person who changed it to non-anamorphic was correct.

Sorry Alien


Contribution Notes

When you contribute a changed profile, you are required to include Contribution Notes. Use the space to enter full explanations for all changes and/or additions that you make. Make special reference to any changes where:

    * You have verified there is a discrepancy between the box and the actual content of the DVD - include your verification method.
    * You are making a subtle change that may be hard to spot - for example spelling correction to the overview.
    * You are removing incorrect information.

Please explain to me how either the above described Contribution Note OR your previous Yes vote or anyone else's for that matter comport with the above Rule. It's not spin, sir, the Rule was ignored, plain and simple and the damage must be corrected while waiting for proper verification

Simply wrong, Hal. I submit the same challenge to you. How does the prior Contribution Note or your prior Yes vote comport with the above quoted Rule. Or did you simply ignore the FACT that there was verification method (documentation) provided, this would not be a first either. But if you really believe that the prior user or yourself followed the Rules....well you better get your glasses changed. LOL, attempt at humor
