April 2007[edit]

There's some irony that this purports to be about "(film)" but it is almost exclusively a problem for video... (yes, you see it on film trailers, too) jhawkinson 20:13, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have adjusted the lede to be more fair to video. When I still had my SD TVs (with only F connectors for input), after the US converted to HD I was getting SD shows pillarboxed into a 16:9 signal, letterboxed by my cable box into a SD signal out its F connector. A neighbor has the same problem, compounded by a 16:9 TV with no HDMI connector that pillarboxes everything (total 2 pillars, 1 letter). Now that I have my HD TV, HD via HDMI cable is fine, but if I want to watch or record a DVD that same SD signal is pumped through F, video, component, or S-video to my DVD recorder and gets further pillarboxed into a 16:9 signal to my HD TV (total 2 pillars, 1 letter), but I can zoom in and not lose much. — Jeff G. ツ 07:01, 20 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

January 2008[edit]

Let's see a list of movies that are like this. Happiness (1998, Todd Solondz) is like this. ClintJCL (talk) 00:24, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In what format? a DVD? I'm not sure why a list is so useful, but whatever... jhawkinson (talk) 05:08, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
