The 2004 DVD's are a disappointment to say the least, and the 2006 GOUT discs, while they look 'alright' on a standard 4:3 TV, are an insult not only to the fans but also to the achievements of Lucas himself and ILM.

You know the worst part of it? I have my DVD player connected via HDMI to my HDTV and guess what, the damn DRM crap prohibits me to zoom. I need to use a second YUV connection for all letterboxed DVDs to zoom them to their full supposed glory.

 

that has nothing to do with the DVD's, so don't try to blame Lucasfilm for that,

thats a hardware limitation that affects all films..  it has NOTHING TO DO WITH DRM..

Actually it has something to do with Lucasarts, they could have released the DVD anamorphic. Doesn't matter if it's only an upscale. And it's DRM indeed which prohibits the zoom as this is the fault of HDCP copy protection which is part of HDMI (and optional on DVI).

i think you missed my point,

the DRM is on your hardware, its not on the DVD,

so it would affect ANY DVD you played, anamorphic or not....

Lucasarts is one of the (many many many many many) labels that insisted on HDCP in HDMI connections so of course it's their fault.
