Why the Black Bars? (1 Viewer)

[T Lee]

My best example of this is Star Wars Episode 4 (original 1977 movie) I own the original vhs release of it & it is full screen (before I knew there was a difference),I place it & the dvd of it in my dvd/vcr & cue them up to the same point in the film & toggle between them to show people the difference between "full" & "wide" & have shown more than a few people what a difference! You get used to the black bars when realizing you are indeed seeing the "entire" movie rather that it being centered & filling the screen.
