If it is really 1:375 Then I would say round to 2 decimals and call it 1.38 actually

Interestingly enough, if you change the A/R to 1.37:1, but use icons instead of text for the video formats section within DVDP, the program still displays 1.33:1.

While not manifested in the rules, I remember in the discussion it was mostly agreed that 0.4 would be enough of a difference to warrant a change. The rules do ask that the verification method is to be stated in the contribution notes. After all, it is not about what the film was filmed on, but what it was transfered in on DVD/Blu-ray.


If it is indeed 1.3746031746:1, then 1.375 is just as correct as 1.37.


I will voted for change, but not "all", only those where aplpicable.

Thanks Achim.
This mirrors my thoughts quite well.

The aspect ratio is the aspect ratio. But this is DVD Profiler, where instead of using the actual aspect ratio, we use... well I don't know what we use, but it's often not the actual aspect ratio. I guess, for example, a 1.76 film is supposed to be in the online as 1.78. I have no idea why, but if you try to change it to 1.76 and post documented proof, it will still get downvoted. I guess because this is DVD Profiler and that's just what we do.

Most Blu-rays of academy-ratio films are 1.37. DVDs tend to be 1.33. there's little point in putting a row of 7 black pixels each at the top and bottom of the frame. Window-boxed ones may be 1.37, though. I agree only how it's presented on the DVD itself should count. Also, what 1.76 releases even exist? If it fills a 16:9 frame, it's 1.777777... or rounds off to 1.78.

There are two contributions up for voting right now to change Gone With the Wind and The Wizard of Oz from A/R 1.33:1 to 1.37:1.

An even bigger problem if you get right to the nuts and bolts of this IS: ..

I own both GWTW and Wizard of OZ editions  and yet I don't see either of these in ( my) data to be voted on .. Reason?  There is probably about two dozen releases of various regions and locality's as well as many versions in One disc two disc editions as well as STD  and Blu ray .. of said Titles .
One thing I can't stand to see is one (two) disc 'only versions'  being "accepted" for various changes of either (i.e.)  aspect ratio ( as here)  or crew and cast / running times as well as overviews and other ''trivia''  being changed for that one UPC edition(s)  ..  yet it doesn't branch out to affect all said Titles ..

So if aspect ratio gets changed (as you say)  will all movies of the same ratio get changed? 
Well that would be near Impossible to do,  let alone even all these said  various releases ... of said Titles ..
