Why are most DVDs produced in Widescreen?
The Widescreen format sits best with the DVD format as it comes closest to recreating the cinema experience in your home. With the panning and scanning process, up to 1/3 of the original film image can be lost. With Widescreen you are seeing more of the film not less! The Widescreen presentation lets you enjoy the COMPLETE movie (on a standard TV) as the director intended.
