I just purchased the Silence of the Lambs DVD and was surprised to find it only provides FULL-SCREEN. When I fired it up, the screen, '..modified to fit your screen' screen came up.
Anyone know if it truly only plays in 16:9, or is it 4:3?? I have a 32" 4:3 screen. However, the image didn't look stretched.
On the MGM site it says 16X9 format. It doesn't provide letter-box, at least I can't get it to play back in letter-box.
It suppose to be the new Special Edition.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Vince

  I tried it. I can go from 4:3, 4:3 letter-box, 16:9 on my player and they all look the same.
  I read the tech info on Amazon on all three DVDs for Silence, all three DVDs have attributes independent of eachother. There's the old DVDs no dolby 5.1 and out-takes. Widescreen version has 5.1 DD, out-takes, enhanced color. Special Ed. ver. has everything but letter-box aspect ratio.
  I have a friend that doesn't enjoy letter-box, he prefers 4:3. Poor bastard. Well, this will make a nice gift for 'em.
  Thanks!
