Is there any way to tell, by simply looking at an individual profile, that it's for a film that had an aspect ratio greater than 1.78:1 but has had the edges chopped off to fill a 16:9 screen?

Jim F. No. Not by simply looking at the online profile. You have to look elsewhere. Here's an example The Eighteenth Angel from the Invelos online profile for this movie:  How would a DVDP user know (unless he's a film buff and cares about that sort of thing) that the film was shot in anamorphic Panavision 2.35 : 1, and thus cropped. Best course of action, assuming the time and interest is there, is to track/denote such info on your own via your local db and 'notes'. |

| | Posted: | | | | Hi,
Thanks for the replies. I thought perhaps I was overlooking something. This came to my attention after starting to watch "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" in the dvd version of the Dragon Tattoo Trilogy - Extended Edition. When they chop the picture so that it fills the screen isn't of much importance for old TV shows like Seinfeld or Kung Fu but is important in this case.
