Aspect Ratio Terms
Widescreen or LBX Video is formatted to fit a 4x3 screen (the aspect ratio of a standard TV), but with the movie in a widescreen aspect ratio. Black bars are recorded at the top and bottom of the image to fill out the screen (videos of this type are said to be letterboxed).

Movies in this format are almost always in the original and preferred aspect ratio.
Anamorphic or 16x9 Video is formatted to fit a 16x9 screen (the aspect ratio of HDTV and widescreen TVs). When viewed on a 4x3 TV, the image must be "down-converted" by the playback device to a 4x3 letterboxed image (see description above). Note that movies that are 2.35:1 will still need to be stored letterboxed, but with smaller black bands than normal (additional black bands will be generated for 4x3 screens).

This format will give the best possible image on future TVs, so DVDs of this type are sometimes labeled as enhanced for widescreen TVs. Movies in this format are almost always in the original and preferred aspect ratio.
Academy Ratio Video is formatted to fit a 4x3 screen. The film was shot and released with an aspect ratio of 1.33:1.

Movies in this format are in the original and preferred aspect ratio. Most old (pre-1950) classic films are of this type.
Full Frame Video is formatted to fit a 4x3 screen. The aspect ratio of the original source for the film or video is usually 1.33:1.

TV shows in this format are in their original broadcast aspect ratio.

Movies in this format may have been soft matted to a wider aspect ratio (by covering the top and/or bottom edges) for theatrical release. The extra information revealed at the top (or bottom) of the screen may spoil the composition of some scenes or may reveal things that the director intended to be concealed.
Pan and Scan Video is formatted to fit a 4x3 screen. The film was originally shown with an aspect ratio wider than 1.33:1. It has been modifed by tracking the action and then cropping the sides off to fit a 1.33:1 aspect ratio.

For most videophiles, this is the least desireable format (since part of the picture is missing).

If a DVD is listed with two different aspect ratios, then it contains both versions (sometimes on different sides of the disc). I usually try to check multiple web sources to confirm aspect ratios on the videos I list. I try to ensure that my information is accurate, but on some of the more obscure titles I may not have 100% reliable sources. If you have any questions about a video please email me.
