  • "Black bars replace the missing picture on the left, and right part of the screen, so you can't see what's not happening, as it doesn't happen"

  • When you showed the basketball in the 16:9 aspect ratio, it also cut off the top and bottom.

    Why is that? And what makes thát the correct ratio to use?

    Of course I'd like to see more left and right, it's only logical since it's a lot more natural to the human vision.

    But I don't want the top and bottom to be cut off, I'd like to keep that what 4:3 still includes there.

    So, what would thát become?

    Like 16:10 or something like that?

    And why don't they use thát then?

  • its funny because this video is 4:3

  • Thank you for your video.

    What do you think about using several aspect ratio in a film?

    This idea is explained in my movie "defence of the multiscope".

  • @DiGiTaLdAzEDM

    Well, 4:3 or 1:33 would be fullscreen, 16:9 or 1:78 would be widescreen, then films are in a variety of widescreen formats, like 2:35 or above.

  • Actually, would it not be more accurate to call 16:9 'fullscreen'? 'Widescreen' is usually used to refer to video filmed in 2.35:1 aspect ratio meaning 2.35 inches wide for every inch vertically--2.4:1 is also common. 16:9 aspect ratio is 1.78 inches wide for every1 inch of height, or 1.78:1, and usually called 'fullscreen'.

  • @DamageIncM

    16:10 is not the ratio it would be 8:5 if it were to be used as you cant make the numbers smaller by a common denominator

  • LoL, I'm in 5:4

  • /watch?v=04i3DcH42mw what aspect ratio is that?

  • Some dvds right after u press play movie They give u to pick widescreen or full screen

    witch is pure awsomeness I just Do NOT understand why all dvds can be like that?????

  • 2:30

    

  • @DamageIncM

    The top and bottom were chopped off because it was a 4:3 image being cut down to be displayed on a 16:9 TV. It was not proper widescreen.
