I see....

That's another thing I've always wondered.

Still, that wasn't much thought on the studio's part. I mean, those non-16:9 players could still at least downconvert the anamorphic video to 4:3, right?!

Guess it's just another excuse to sell us a better dvd years later that actually is enhanced for widescreen tv, but like I said, it's becoming harder and harder to find a widescreen movie that's only been released on non-anamorphic dvd. James Cameron's "The Abyss" is still in that club, I believe, so the OOT isn't entirely alone.
