The issue really isn’t whether or not the file was made for BD compatibility or not. Even if we didn’t care about that, it would still be rendered with the same aspect ratio (vlc would just add it like it does for 4:3 video). Even if there was more than just you requesting this, the logical thing to do is release the intact film. You can come along and do whatever you want to it. But if it was released the way you want, there would be no way for the thousands if people who want it intact to uncrop it. Does that make sense?Aren’t there any TVs that let you zoom in on the image? Like they used to do for widescreen?
Depends on the TV, and then even depends on the source used. My TV doesn’t allow the same zoom options for HDMI inputs as it does for coax/component input. It is annoying when i have a HDMI source that is presenting letter boxed movies in 4:3 aspect, and i can’t zoom in correctly to remove both the side and top letterboxing. Rare problem, but annoying all the same. TV manufacturers make lots of assumptions about how you will use your tv.
