Buffy S6 Warning - OMWF is NOT anamorphic!
From a thread on HTF: Someone who has gotten an early copy of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer season six set has said that the episode "Once More With Feeling," while presented in its proper widescreen ratio, IS NOT 16:9 enhanced.

I think they do that so you can watch all of the episodes of the disc without having to adjust your display when that one starts and then change it back afterwards.

I can't get too worked up about this. Buffy is not Lawrence Of Arabia. Season 2 was IMHO the best season and it was filmed in 16mm. The greatness that is Buffy is in the writing and acting, not the video quality.

is it in 1:77;1 or is it as broadcast at more like 2:00;1 aspect ratio?
and i've been saying all along, so there is no problem, just put once more with feeling as a seperate disc all together

I've never understood why BtVS is shot in widescreen but shown in foolscreen. And the way Joss talks about DVD, I'm surprised/disappointed that OMWF isn't anamorphic.

I remember seeing a screenshot comparison between the 4:3 version of a scene from "The Body", and a widescreen version of that same shot from the European DVDs as an example of that. The widescreen version had more information on each side, but the composition was much better in the 4:3 one.

There are the R2 (which I have) and R4 sets of S4-7 in widescreen anamorphic but I don't want to start that argument again.

I have the Region 2 British version of Once More, With Feeling (Single Disc) and its anamorphic. Great picture too. I don't know why Fox wouldn't release the same here.

There are those of us who recognize Season 6 as the best season of the whole show.

I just got my copy in the mail today and can confirm that it's not 16x9-enhanced.
