The first question should have been what about the vast majority of viewers who have NTSC TVs, they won't be able to watch my DVD at all! My answer would be: ask Cowclops, MeBeJedi, Zion et al. But to address the point about 4:3 televisions, most people here who have DVD players also have 16:9 sets.

I trully can't understand this whole arguement! I mean, it has been made crystal clear in a thousand previous posts, that each format (NTSC or PAL, anamorphic or not) has it's advantages and disadvantages. Which advantages or disadvantages are these, is the topic of discussion in this thread.
Besides that, it is each one's choice to make about about how he wants to view the movies that he likes, by buying the apropriate hardware.
And what better thing to be going on, than having people working on a variety of formats, so one can choose which one fits him the most. In that case, I must say it is a relief to see moth3r work on an PAL project, since all projects made public so far are NTSC. Furthermore, I am happy to see that on the subject of anamorphic or not, there is a variety of choices...
So I think that there is no point in trying to persuade people to work on a project that would suit us. After all, there are others that might prefer it in a way that we don't.
