In Reply to: Re: difference in and explaination of "Anamorphic" and "enhanced for widescreen TV" posted by Roland on March 23, 2001 at 14:33:01:
Enhanced for widescreen and anamorphic are the same thing. Essentially the image is compressed horizontally on an anamorphic DVD. A widescreen TV stretches it out again so that it looks normal. A DVD player will actually remove every fourth vertical line so that the image appears normal on a 4:3 TV. This of course, doesn't help the picture any on a 4:3 TV, although it doesn't usually hurt it too terribly either. On the other hand, an anamorphic DVD is noticably better than a non-anamorphic on a widescreen TV.
