What I’ve found annoying was this, if you may permit this OT diversion while the subject’s up.

I have this DVD - friend bought me it to rip because where he lives he would have gotten slammed hard by customs. It’s anamorphic. Contains two Detective Conan specials, made from re-cutting older 3-part episodes and adding new credits. Everything but the closing credits is 4:3 footage, from back when the show was cel-animated. The credits, including the closing animation, were done in 2007; the closing animation is CG and 16:9 AR.

…so the damn fools made the disc anamorphic and pillarboxed the 4:3 footage like the TV airing! My equipment won’t let me do anything reasonable about that, either; if I zoom in enough with the player to take the whole screen, I’ve already zoomed in WAY too much.

On the plus side, one of the specials reaired recently, so I have it now in 720p thanks to same said friend. 😉
