Widescreen

Video material produced in wider aspect ratio than the standard TV ratio (4:3, or 1.33:1) is commonly referred to as widescreen video. In general anything with an aspect ratio above 1.66:1 can be considered widescreen.

Widescreen material is presented on DVDs in either anamorphic or letterboxed format. At times widescreen material is also cropped into 4:3 format using Pan & Scan.
