It's great that this story is getting into more "mainstream" places, but I think the inaccuracies confuse the issue:

"The prints for the Sept. 12 DVDs..." There are no prints involved in this process. The DVDs will be created from a video master.

"...come from laserdiscs of the films released in the mid ’90s."

Although the video master was used to make laserdiscs (and VHS tapes), the DVDs will not in any way come from laserdiscs."...will bow in their original film composition, not in the more cinematic anamorphic widescreen transfer."

The composition is not at issue. The DVDs will be presented in widescreen. The complaints are about the fact that it will be "letterboxed" widescreen, rather than "anamorphic" widescreen.

Edit: I contacted the writer of this article, politely pointing out these technical inaccuracies and it has been updated to remove the last of the three.
