If a widescreen DVD or HD-dvd or blu-ray disc fills your widescreen TV correctly.......then it's anamorphic.
Non-anamorphic widescreen is a 4:3 (square-ish) letterboxed image designed to be shown on a square-ish 4:3 TV.
HD widescreen images aren't designed for old square TVs- they're designed for newer widescreen TVs, so they're anamorphic.
I'm sure someone could explain it better but I'm tired.
