...no it isn't: (too) many "widescreen" (1.66:1, 1.78:1, 1.85:1, 2.00:1, 2.20:1, 2.35:1) movies on DVD are not "enhanced for 16:9 TVs" (= transferred anamorphically), but rather are transferred in the letterbox mode

1.66:1 (which is letterboxed on 4:3 sets but pillarboxed on widescreen sets).
And what do we do about 1.33 OAR movies and TV shows coming out on DVD to play on the new 16x9 screens? Are they going to (scope?) and scan them to fit on wide screen? Are we going to have DVD's coming out in 2 versions again and with a whole new controversy?
