The Lego Movie 2D should be OAR, the 3D version is 1.78:1 for some unknown reason. At least from the preview options I've used.

Amelie across all UV providers I checked is 1.78:1

Penelope is 1.78:1 on Vudu, its OAR 2.35:1 on the others.

[Veronica Mars]

Almost all of the movies listed in their wrong OAR are in their correct OAR on CinemaNow.

I can't see how Vudu can't just get the very same encodes they have, but they've been claiming in the forums that it's the studios fault and it takes time to get things corrected.

I think in over a year, they might have corrected 2. I completely blame Vudu and I'm kind of amazed they've done so little and that people are more upset.

But it's not. The 10-minutes preview has the correct aspect ratio, while the complete movie is cropped.

I wish I had read about this so I could have made a more informed decision on Battlefield Earth, McCabe and Mrs. Miller, Kelly's Heroes, Harper and They Live with Home D2D. I think I still might have gone for them, but it would've been useful information to have when narrowing down to a final 50.

Warner and VUDU ought to straighten this out.

The Lego Movie was corrected. I've noticed many Fox movies tend to be cropped on CinemaNow but correct on Vudu- including Diary of a Wimpy Kid- Dog Days, Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter, Epic and The Wolverine just to name a few.

I wrote to them about Kelly's Heroes, They Live and McCabe and Mrs. Miller, which are all correct on CinemaNow, and their reply suggested an unomfortable level of misinformation:

"Upon review, we are showing that "Kelly's Heroes" is showing in the correct aspect ratio, and "They Live".
We are showing that McCabe and Mrs Miller is showing in the incorrect aspect ratio"

If streaming is the future we might very well be ****ed if this is how things are going to go. At least when the studio releases cropped movies on physical media they know that they're doing it.

Godzilla Vs Monster Zero's OAR is 2.35:1.
