The DVD players in question DO take non-anamorphic material and interpolate it to Anamorphic; EXCATLY what I said originally inj defence of releasing the DVDs as non-anamorphic, from the quote This feature really shines in effortlessly scaling and playing non-anamorphic movies as anamorphic! I also know someone who has a JVC DVD Player that does this - takes non-anamorphic video and makes it anamorphic. You right, it stretches the picture vertically - AS IF IT IS ANAMORPHIC BY INTERPOLATING LINES. Thus for all intents and purposes the output from the DVD Player is anamorphic whereas the original in letterboxed non-anamorphic video.
