It got me thinking about how these films will holdup in the future. With everything in widescreen what is going to be done with those films and past tv series? Are we to crop them for a perfect 16x9 fit? That would be awful IMO (I don't think anyone would like Citizen Kane butcherd that way). Do we deal with just having them on 4:3 mode and enjoy having gray/black bars on the side? How about leaving them "streched" out a bit. I have a Panny Plasma and they have a "just" mode when you strech the image which adjusts the ratio a bit but still. Are these films and tv series doomed to never make it on Blu-ray? Classics are still a big part of the market in sell-through and at one point, the demand for it on blu-ray will be there. Thoughts anyone? Last edited by kuliddar; 05-13-2008 at 11:48 PM.
