Hello,

In no case did selecting all the possible combinations of these various
settings produce a 4:3 image on the 4:3 displays or an unsqueezed 4:3
image on the 16:9 set.
This is a 4:3 film with an aspect ratio of 1.33:1.
The image always displayed 1:1 or square on the 4:3 monitors and
squeezed on the 16:9 set.
What did you expect ? HDTV signals are always 16:9, and the output
from the BluRay player is HDTV. So a 4:3 film will always be padded
with two side pillars to a 16:9 signal. No wonder that you are always
seeing a pillarbox. If this were a "Platinum" edition, like Pinocchio,
the side bars would have been filled up with nice colored curtains.
HDTV 4:3 does not exist as a signal format. Neither does 21:9. :-(
You can imagine that I am not in a hurry to buy this BluRay disc for
my 21:9 (64:27) television...
