Whew! I snuck in there and fixed my math just four minutes before it was gonna be done for me. I appreciate the efforts to keep me from posting "geometrically incorrect" statements. :emoji_thumbsup: ;) Regards,

Peter, You are not following my math. The area is the horizontal times the vertical. For instance, with 3% cropping on all four sides, the lost area would be 11.6%. That would not mean an 11.6% reduction in either length or width. Regards,

Peter, Now I'm confused by your previous example of showing a 32 foot wide image versus a 37 foot wide image. This would be a 13.5% reduction in only the horizontal dimension versus the talked about 12-13% reduction in film area. Based on my measurements off of the previously posted frame...

A 3% cropping on all four sides would result in a reduction in projected area of 12%. I measure the reduction in area of the DVD frame vs. the full film frame as 12.45%. I stick by my previous statement (post #140 in this thread) that it is not "excessive", but certainly "unnecessary". Regards,

Disney's nominally 1.66:1 16:9 enhanced transfers are just about always a little wider than that in actuality. I would revise "hardly small potatoes" to "well within the margin of error for most theatrical presentations I will ever see", but YMMV. Regards,

Well, I've seen "excessive" cropping, and I'm not sure that this (about 2.5% on either side and substantially less than that vertically) qualifies. I'd go with "unnecessary", though. :) If release prints of the film were actually hard matted to 1.75:1, it's possible that 1.66:1 presentations...

Ernest, Why not just watch the new version with the very well presented 2.0 pro-logic re-purposing of the original mix? The improvments in image presentation are substantial, and the 5.1 from the Gold Collection (and/or its predecessor) is really not much better than the 2.0 "original...

The low-end eq for the new "Disney Enhanced Home Theater Mix" is horribly wonky. I also cannot figure out who would listen to this side by side with the original mix and think that they actually improved anything. I haven't A/B'd it with the previous release's 5.1 mix, but the 2.0 original mix...
