OK, maybe there's an obvious answer to this question that I'm just not seeing, but here goes:
Since George obviously didn't intend the GOUT to be watched on widescreen displays (what with the subtitles getting cut off and all), why did he bother progressively encoding the video? I thought only widescreen sets were capable of displaying progressive material.
Yeah, but most movie DVDs are flagged progressive (or should be). While they're obviously not formatted for 16:9 TVs, I guess they figured they're going to be watched on a lot of widescreen TVs and computer monitors. Frankly, I'm glad they at least did that much. :-/OK, maybe there's an obvious answer to this question that I'm just not seeing, but here goes:
