I've also had the experience of overhearing people say things like widescreen DVDs cut off part of the picture.. That is just wrong. In fact, the opposite is true. For those of you who don't know, here's a crash course on the difference between widescreen and full screen. Movie screens are rectangular. TV screens are square. (Or at least most of them are; HDTVs are changing this rapidly.) When you transfer a rectangular image to a square TV set, it doesn't fit.
