There is no anamorphic. The native AR for an HD frame is already 16:9. Anamorphic on DVD was used because HDTVs were 16:9 while the DVD frame AR is only 4:3.
The analogy here doesn’t equate. The reason why a newer ATRAC (or any other lossy encoder) can have benefits is that they use perceptional encoding to try and remove information that you theoretically can’t hear. As newer algorithms improve upon this, you reap the benefits. The data is in the...
As a (sad) side note, I saw a show on PBS about covered bridges the other day. The covered bridge featured in that film fell victim to arson and no longer exists.
I agree with Jeff, Iomega is notorious for poor quality. When Zip drives stopped selling, they started making CD-R drives. They got the worst reviews. So, No thanks.

Stronger hulls? No thanks, I hate the hulls getting stuck in my teeth way more than unpopped kernels. I would vote for hull-less popcorn any day (it does exist.)
