Simply no.
All dvd's are formatted to fit into a 4:3 frame. If its a 4:3 (full frame) movies/tv show then that's fine. Nothing has to happen.
If its say a 2.:35:1 and non-anamorphic then, it still has to fit into that 4:3 frame so you get black bars at the top and bottom. If its anamorphic, then the picture is compressed width wise using some magic and the dvd player/tv expand it back.
Some tv's cope better at making 4:3 shows 16:9 than others. My last crt tv, was awful, but my plasma is pretty good. Still I prefer 'original aspect ratio' even on my 16:9 display. |
