Please don't think me arrogant, but just out of curisity, did widescreen exist prior to the 1950s? Wasn't the first picture filmed in cinemascope The Robe? Understand, I mean no offense! I'm just wondering.
I'm sure there are, aside from the John Wayne film from the 1920s (which I think was the first widescreen movie) there were probably some other attempts at widescreen (I'm not an expert about films from that era, so I don't really know) but I know the great majority of the pre-1950s films were academy ratio.
No offense taken, BTW.

The audio and video elements come together on D-2 digital tape which is then converted to analogue in the case of laserdisc and videocassette (but not DVD) images, this is then used to master the final software. The THX test signal remains even in the final software and is again evaluated by LucasFilm engineers (who have the power to reject the entire inventory) at this stage.

Great info- thanks! I have the definitive LD set, but I rarely watch it. I hate all the CAV side breaks, and my last disc of ROTJ has laser rot. I much prefer the CLV "faces" editions- those are from the same masters, I believe (?)
