| | Posted: | | | | I hate it when a film that is supposed to be 1:2.35 is broadcasted, released or w/e in 1:1.78. It is a crime against the director  They are just doing it so that the screen is fully filled with picture material  Donnie | | | | www.tvmaze.com |

Donnie BTW is it 2.35:1 and 1.78:1. (H:V) In any event, there are still way too many people who do not like black bars, either on the top/bottom or left/right. Hence the broadcasting of 2.35:1 movies being pan-n-scanned to fill the 16:9 screen. If it were released on Blu-ray that way I'd return it as defective. I've personally not run across a Blu-ray that is formatted wrong. Even the DVDs that I've purchased haven't done that. Guess I've been lucky. The U.S. broadcast networks are horrible for taking 2.35:1 movies and filling the screen. I do not watch movies on broadcast TV. I hate the commercial interruptions, the network bugs and snipes, etc. If I want to see it, I have it on Blu-ray/DVD. | | | Mr Video Productions

You need to check out the Canada Blu-ray releases from Alliance. Guess I'll never buy anything from them. If no one else bought those discs, maybe they might get the idea as to why their releases aren't selling very well. More so if people would send them e-mail complaining about the pan-n-scan 16:9 releases. | | | Mr Video Productions

If the DVD came out first, it was probably mastered onto NTSC, which meant for the Blu-ray release they had to go back and remaster for HD and knowing that buyers wouldn't like a 16:9 full screen version, did it right. If they had a NTSC master around and had already authored a DVD version, redoing it for a Blu-ray combo release just wasn't worth the expense. Personally, for me, putting in a DVD version is a total waste of time, money and materials. | | | Mr Video Productions
