A few weeks ago we had a major rainstorm in Chicago and something similar happen to my player.

No go, but thanks for the help. I guess it's time to test the return policy at Circuit City.

Maybe somebody screwed up making the transfer?

the prologue was filmed in IMAX, so the ratio is around 1.77:1

Well I also noticed a touch of black bars on each side. Very, very, very small. In fact, those who may not see that, probably have a little overscan as opposed to the 'just scan' option other TV's have.

Well, Roc, I don't really know what to say about that one. Perhaps they will go for 1.66:1 to get even closer to the original IMAX ratio and just presume that most people's TV will overscan it to 1.77:1.

I just found it kind of odd when I was watching the prologue. Perhaps you're right and they did it in a effort to get as close to 1.44:1 as possible while still (mostly) filling a 1.77:1 frame.
BTW, when you talked to Nolan, did you get to ask him if more (if not all) of the eventual third film will be shot with IMAX cameras?
