RW>... You rent a movie, and at the beginning it says, "The picture has been
RW>sized to fit your television screen".  How do they know what size screen I
RW>have?
I know this is off-topic, but this is something I've wondered for a long
time:
a) Why don't they just leave is as wide-screen?
b) Why are so many films on VHS tape in pan-and-scan, and the opposite
with Laserdisk?
