A new example for this is Interstellar: 1080p High Definition 16:9 Variabel 2.40:1 and 1.78:1 (IMAX®-Sequenzen). So, do we enter 1.78:1 or 2.40:1 in Videoformats or do we leave it empty?

Thanks,

Fritz

We enter Interstellar the same way as The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises.

... and which way is that? I just looked at my collection, Rises says 1.78, DK says 2.4.
I do have exclusives for both, but can't lookup other versions by title, as that function does not work anymore on my desktop despite re-installing 5 times.  
Don't feel like hunting down upc #'s online, so how should these read?

?! The Dark Knight is "2.40:1", The Dark Knight Rises " :1".

When was the last time you tried to be helpful rather than just an irritant?

Don't feed the trolls! 

Back on topic: AFAIK there is no proper way of registering this in every detail. In any case you can tick Widescreen. Personally I would go for the ratio most used in the film.

I think you should choose the most "open" format that is used. In this case someone who is watching with a projector will get the whole image. In the other case he might lose information because he's projecting in 2,40:1 and the image gets cropped at top and bottom.

The Matrix [Blu-ray] | Shirins Wedding [DVD] | The Graduate [Blu-ray] | Prometheus [Blu-ray 3D] | Hwal [DVD]

I do not track this information, what do you think I am? An egocentric?

But you can check it here. (only one year, so can't guarantee a hit)

Unfortunately, since we define Fullscreen as 1.33:1 there is no way to do this. If the program had recognized Fullscreen as 16:9 for Blu-ray, we could simply have ticked both Fullscreen and Widescreen.

Although I like the idea behind it, that would have opened the gate for quite some ambiguity.
How about "Fullscreen SD" (being 1,33:1) and "Fullscreen HD" (being 1,78:1)?

I don't think we have defined Fullscreen? And we don't have a "Fullscreen" option. We have a "Full Frame" option (that has something to do with filling the frame of 35mm film which has aspect ratio: 4:3).

Sorry, I meant Full Frame. Ticking Full Frame automatically gives an 1.33:1 aspect ratio, at least according to the program's icon graphics.

But then we have material on HD that actually is 1.33:1 so making Full Frame HD default to 16:9 wouldn't work either.

If the picture is 1.33:1 on a BD it certainly is not full frame. Whether there are black bars or black columns, they ain't counting as picture.
