anamorphic DVD images
Enhanced for Wide Screen
Anamorphic mode maximizes resolution on wide screen 16:9 TVs. Standard 4:3 TVs that support anamorphic mode display more lines of vertical resolution by squeezing the image into the required space. On non-anamorphic 4:3 TVs, in order to restore the original shape of the images, the player discards lines in the vertical resolution. This is a conceptual illustration.
