Standard definition DVD is fine enough for those us who don't have a 16:9 HDTV.  I have a Standard definition tv set properly calibrated and the gout still looks like shit on it.  Believe it or not anamorphic transfers look better on a 4:3 tv as well than letterbox transfers because they yield a sharper image.

480i anamorphic is of course better than a 380i  4:3 letterbox laserdisc transfer master tape D2. Especially since the dvnr smearing is so awful that was used to try and cover up things apparent on the pre thx releases which funny enough look more consistant, though they apparently color corrected them on the THX release.

Does anyone know the resolution and picture information lost when converting a 2:35:1 Large Negative area cinemacope film to 4:3 letterbox interlaced video?

I remember somebody once said like 25% where a 4:3 pan and scan loses 40%.
