I for one would be more comfortable with a definition of anamorphic from
SMPTE or another standards-development body.  In my reading, MPEG and SMPTE
don't use the term.

So, you guys are arguing amongst yourselves.

Craig,

To me, "anamorphic" has come to mean "full height widescreen" when a given 
frame could either be  widescreen or standard aspect ratio.

All of the HD downsamples you describe are always 16:9, therefore I wouldn't

call them "anamorphic."
