Hello,

Crew. Is "Directeur de production" the same than "Ingénieur de production" ?

Video format. Sometimes, we have "16/9e compatible 4/3". I think, I haven't to check "16x9 Enhanced", but I am not sure. If we have "Format 1.85 - 16/9e compatible 4/3", I think I have to check "16x9 Enhanced" (because 16 divided by 9 equal 1.77  ), but I am not sure. You probably understood that I am a dunce in this domain, but I have some contributions to be made and it is imperative to fill in the video formats box.

On video format, 16/9e means anamorphic. The AR of the movie itself could be any number of things, but the data is encoded as a 16:9 frame with any unused parts matted out.

I believe to understand, but if I have :

Format 1.85 - 16/9e compatible 4/3

Must I check "16x9 Enhanced" ?

What you enter doesn't really depend on what the cover says - we enter what the video format on the disc really is. Unfortunately, my French isn't nowhere near good enough to explain the difference between anamorphic and non-anamorphic...

Anamorphic means distorsion.

You don't have to determine that.  The rules tell us to, "Use the Video specified on the DVD Cover unless you can verify there is a discrepancy between that and the actual Video included on the disc."  If you don't know how to determine the actual video format, then you can't verify the discrepancy so are free to just enter what is printed on the case.

Of course you can. Unfortunately, with what's printed on the cover one could still go either way.

I read rules, but my problem it is that I don't always know how to transcribe what is printed on the case.
For example, if I have on the case : "Format 1.85 - 16/9e compatible 4/3", Must I check "16x9 Enhanced" ?

Nobody have an answer about : "Directeur de production" and "Ingénieur de production" ?
