As it turns out, it's all good at this point. I will just manually switch back from 16:9 to 4:3, depending on what I'm watching.

I did notice that Thundarr in 4:3 does have better PQ in that aspect ratio than when it's stretched out to 16:9 - which lends credence to the supposition that it was flagged properly to begin with (@ 4:3) and it's just that my player is forcing it into 16:9 - unless it's specifically set to 4:3.

Again, Thanks again for all of the feedback - this is much appreciated.

What was your TV model, mate?

my library don't have them, tried to get them to get them and pirates of dark water.

but it seems they won't purchase mod titles. i won't purchase them until i can see the discs quality cause the samples they had on the website was not acceptable considering what i have is better.

I've got an LG HD TV; I bought this new in late 2012 - not sure of the exact model #.

In any case, I don't mind switching back and forth from 4:3 to 16:9; I mainly watch the 16:9 format anyway, so it's not that big of a deal.

Love to have this on Blu-Ray with SDH. A "Special Edition" or steelbook release with extra features would also be nice. Anyway, a great early 80s cartoon. One of the best, in my opinion. Before HE-MAN there was THUNDARR, a post-apocalyptic, sci-fi, fantasy Saturday-morning extravaganza. More fun than a pack of rabid demon dogs!
