Some people amaze me. Anamorphic DVD's have 25% more resolution. Actually, you are both wrong: Anamorphic DVDs have 33% more resolution than non-anamorphic ones, and non-anamorphic discs have 25% less resolution than anamorphic ones. The math is extremely simple: 1.78/1.33 = 1.33; 1.33/1.78 = 0.75.
But at least SilverWook is arguing for better quality, rather than trying to prop up a piss-poor transfer by claiming resolution created through upsampling and across video formats reduces this number to an 11.9% difference. So, really, boris is "wronger."
