Turner Classic Movies: Letterbox
Loading...

a wonderful way to illustrate the difference between watching via "widescreen" or "Letterboxed" transfers of a film vs. "full screen" or "pan and scan".

I think that's Gigi also.
-
well if fullscreen sucks so much quit releasing it, i think they already did
-
What was the last movie shown?
-
Did anyone else notice that this video was itself presented in 4:3 ratio? Just made me chuckle

This video should be projected in every school!!! However, the Last Supper example is funny, haha

Hopefully all blu-rays have the proper aspect ratio, but you never know.
If you're going to buy one you should check so you don't get upset at yourself.
DVDs you gotta be careful of course, at the library the other day, I noticed they had Terminator 3 in a fullscreen DVD and widescreen DVD. Some let you select.
I hope all current DVDs and blu-rays are released in the right aspect ratio, that is, widescreen for almost everything new.
DVD is going to linger.........maybe indefinitely.

well, not only VHS, but also DVD's, since then I'm always very careful what I buy, I even check the bluray's before buy them...

I popped in the Jurassic Park VHS.
I was like, modified to fit this screen my ass!! when using my HDTV.
I guess since fullscreen was the standard in the 90s for TVs, VHS tapes often have that notice.

Just watched this on TCM and had to find it for my video production students!

I've had my first widescreen-TV (16:9) back in 1995, I brought lots of videos back after read this silly phrase:
" this film has been modified to fit your screen (4:3)"
How the fuck should they now what screen I have?!
This letterboxing and pan scan is a really big shit, shame on it!!!
