Boris, I understand what you're saying about the scaling, but that still doesn't change the fact that non-anamorphic DVDs still have like 33% less resolution than anamorphic ones, due to all of the space taken up by the black bars.
25% less resolution ... but then if they did release it in anamorphic they would have only been scaled, as the master tape isn't anamorphic. People would then instead complain that LFL is pretending that it's anamorphic...Boris, I understand what you're saying about the scaling, but that still doesn't change the fact that non-anamorphic DVDs still have like 33% less resolution than anamorphic ones, due to all of the space taken up by the black bars.
Nobody is asking them to use the 1993 master tapes to make fake anamorphic DVDs (if you want the letterboxed image to fill your widescreen TV, you just have to hit the 'zoom' button).
I'm talking about letterboxed DVDs VS. doing a proper anamorphic transfer from film (or from all of the raw footage that was already scanned prior to the release of the 1997 SEs).
