Question about viewing original aspect ratio

[grey77]

Hi chip,

thanks for your posts, i understand clearer now. i had thought the black bars were part of the image. cos if i took a screenshot of a film set to 2:35:1 first with the software player it will show 1920x816 ~2:35, that is with black bars included.

there is a small group i came across who prefered the squashed image but it's on the p2p scene. according to them the black bars perserve the original aspect ratio of the film so they wont crop it out of blu-ray encodes.
