The industry cannot ignore a format that encompasses the greatest part of the film catalog across the whole wide world. I have the reasonable right to expect this film to fill a 4:3 screen. It IS a 4:3 Film!!!
I'm very sorry I have confused you. #;^)
I'll bet you have the monitor set to 4:3, and that the film is recorded as 16:9 anamorphic. Set the monitor to 16:9.
Bert, it is only a 4:3 monitor, so it doesn't have a switch to change between 4:3 and 16:9.
The reason the film is showing up as 1:1 is that you have narrowed it by 1.333/1.777 = 0.75. You did this by telling the monitor to squeeze an anamorhic 16:9 image into a 4:3 aspect ratio. The result is, 1.3333 * 0.75 = 1.0. Surprise! Bert
Surprise back at you Bert, You are Wrong!!!
