I'm guessing that it is not the correct aspect ratio. I initially thought my copy was merely 4x3 letterboxed. But upon closer inspection it was obvious that while it displays 4x3 letterboxed, it was encoded for anamorphic sizing. That is, I'd bet that if you inspect it more closely you'll see that everything displays "taller" or "skinnier" than should be. The print is heavily cropped, so when it's displayed properly, the black bars should seem larger than the normal 2.35:1. I just checked on a dvd player and a 4x3 CRT and confirmed it. Moral of story - nobody needs to share their copy of Grande 1.0...
