    HD DVD Anamorphic?

    All of the brand new HD DVD Movies I have have a huge black space above and below movie. 2:35:1 is almost 50% black, 1:78:1 is better, but my comment was on Anamorphic. Is that possible or something similar in HD?

    Team America 04/05/05...

    Guys, From my understanding, it is strictly the theatrical version of the film with a special unrated version later in year. In the deleted scenes, they will NOT show the extended puppet scene. They are saving that for unrated edition. Booooo!!!!
