Default dvd widescreen vs Blu-ray widescreen?
I've noticed on anamorphic widescreen dvd's the black bars are thicker and larger and the image is wider compared to bluray black bars. dvd's in aspect ratio 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen I think look great, why aren't bd movies like that? Now I notice many bd's are 2.35:1, 2.39:1 and 2.40:1 but are bd's in anamorphic widescreen and if not would it be possible to make a bd movie look like a anamorphic widescreen dvd?

Also, is there a difference between 2.35:1, 2.39:1 and 2.40:1 aspect ratio?
