Well, haven't read the specs but that is stupid if true!
In my opinion the resolution of the information-carrying part of the picture (i.e. with no black lines) should always be the highest possible (i.e. 1080x1920 for Blu-ray, 720x576 for DVD (at least PAL DVD, - I think NTSC DVD has a slight different resolution)).
DVD's actually do have panoramic recording. The resolution is, I am quite sure, 720x576 whether 4:3 or 16:9, - but admitted not for other formats like 2.39:1
Obviously that would make the pixels in some movies (the 2.39:1) very long and others (the 4:3 movies if any) very tall.
For now it might not help a bit, - but eventually we will get screens which can do better than 1080p (some already have on PC's) and also 2.39:1 lcd's/projectors might come out.
