DVD vs conventional video.

We just got a brand spanking new computer and it has a DVD player in it. I am amazed by the sound and picture quality as opposed to video. I have recently found out something else interesting between the two: in widescreen videos, not ALL of the picture is seen; whereas DVD shows (evidently) the entire picture.

Two examples from Armageddon (for those who are willing to either find out or take my word for it): when the oil drillers and the NASA pilots meet, and the shot of the pilots after Truman says "I just thought you guys should meet", Tucker is visible/cut off in DVD/ws video. And when the pictures of the dead drillers are shown at the funeral, Noonan's picture is/is not completely shown on DVD/ws video.

Just a little bit of trivia I discovered. Yes, I'm weird.

Check six.
