Hi, Just a question here from another relative Newbie.

Were the LD trilogy released in the same format as GOUT, i.e. letterbox or whatever?

One of my personal gripes with GOUT versions is that as soon as I try to zoom in to make the movies fill the screen, the resolution goes and the picture quality becomes dreadful. The result is a bit like watching the original through out-of-focus glasses in a smoke-filled room.

Aren't they supposed to be HD?... or HD "in name only"? Are we expected to squint at them in that very narrow, letterbox window?

An original theatrical release should mean just that. You should be virtually able to fill a theatre screen with the picture without suffering huge losses in definition.

Are there any "true" HD versions in existence?
