I don't have a diagram handy, so I'm going to steal Neil's signature image.
If you look at the larger image in the black box (the one that extends all the way to the left and right) that is how an "anamorphic widescreen" DVD image would fill the screen space of a widescreen TV.
The smaller image in the center of the box is how a "NON-anamorphic widescreen" DVD image would fill the screen space of a widescreen TV.
On a standard "square" TV, the two will look pretty much the same.
