...For taking the time to provide relevant information.I believe the image was cropped for DVD (info from the top and bottom was removed), which is what I have been complaining about. There's no problem with either of my DVD players.
Unless you're saying that this "Vistavision" was shot at 1.85:1 and squeezed/unsqueezed in the theater (for those that claim they saw a 2.35:1 display in the theater), then I believe this should go towards proof that my point is correct: That the version on DVD has had the top and bottom of the frame cropped to fit 2.35:1, because the original was 1.85:1.
You're saying the original negative would have been shot at 1.85:1, without being pre-squeezed anamorphically (to be un-squeezed out to 2.35:1 later)?
