So, all that obfuscating math and prose just to show that I was right: anamorphic discs have 33% more resolution than non-anamorphic discs of the same format (the only reasonable way to compare).

Untrue, he was comparing to " all of your anamorphic DVDs"... not the other way round. If the OUT really had "33% LESS RESOLUTION than all of your anamorphic DVDs"... then the anamorphic version would have 50% more resolution then the non-anamorphic discs.

Q.E.D.

That is exactly what I wrote: anamorphic DVDs have 33% MORE resolution than non-anamorphic ones. The original poster was wrong, just like I said. 1.78 divided by 1.33 is still 1.33 -- that's 33% more where I learned math. And your explanation was overly complicated and obfuscating, just like I said. You don't need to worry about how many lines, yadda, yadda, yadda; you just need the display aspect ratios.
