Why would the media effect the way it's displayed? I would think that letterboxing, anamorphic widescreen, and full screen/pan and scan would all be available or possible on HD or BD. The question to me is, why would you want to do anything other than Anamorphic or at least HD full screen? Use Anamorphic for movies and use HD full screen for everything not shot in widescreen.
