Or (in my lame overlay anyway) about 780x470 which is 1.66, so halfway between 4x3 and 16x9.
On HD-DVD I'd like to see something closer to this AR. They could give us a little more picture and thinner black bars.

That sort of makes the 4:3 frame look the more complete than the widescreen crop.

I can't see black squares in the 4 corners being any more distracting than black bars.

No, there is nothing wrong with them, I only upload my DVD's I don't PIF them.

I will hopefully have a standard single layer DVD and an enthusiest DVD-ROM with 720p x264/ac3 content.
I will be doing a little clean up and restoration (restoring 24 frames, generating english subs, replacing mediocre audio, etc.).
Full details are on another editing site but I'm just getting started.
What IS important is this: http://www.darkmark.com/c.c?l=n/archives/2007/06/harry_potter_ma_2.txt
A supposed marathon of the first 3 movies, extended, in HD and on ABC.
I cannot cap these myself.
Does anyone have the know-how, an HD cap card, a good strong HD signal for ABC and a LOT of HDD to spare?
I would gladly upgrade my project to do all 3 films if I had a source for the raws.

It kind of makes sense that the Cadagon scene is the only one included as it's the only one that was fully finished on the dvd, I plan to do an extended version using more of the deleted scenes (and more than ADM used in his version), but it keeps slipping down my to-do list for various reasons.

So yes, the original frame was probably closer to 4x3, but the 16x9 version is a bit better (than the full screen version).
Here is Chamber of Secrets for an examle:
Full and Wide Screens (overlayed)
HD
As you can see on the whole only a bit of information is lost from the left and right.
Sure this probably isn't what the Director intended, but the composition doesn't seem to get as far off as a full frame version.

Also I seem to recall that all the screenshots I've seen from previous airings of POA in HD have been cropped down on the sides.

The film was said to be Super35, but the film was way over-cropped for the Fullscreen DVD. The film was even cropped on the top and bottom. I present you evidence of that here:POA Widescreen vs. Fullscreen

And if so what does the HDTV version have? Do they open the matte (that we've yet to see) or do they crop the left and right?
Anyone have screenshots of the HD version?

My source is NOT the ABC extended broadcast (this is from one of the other non-extended HD versions floating on the net) but there is no way that this HD version was made from Super35: No one transferring the film could be so stupid and crop this much unless they had to.

I'm now terrified about what a future BluRay/HDDVD release might look like since they love to go full 16x9 rather than preserving the OAR.

The HD version of POA is the widescreen version with the sides cropped so it fits in a 1.85:1 area. It has nothing added to the top or bottom. At least the version I have seen did not.
