MEA CULPA! We are indeed describing the video part within, thus a Full Frame Blu-ray indeed exists. The current "logo's" do indeed show Full Frame within 16x9. However this visualisation remains incorrect for non-anamorphic widescreen DVD's.


Gentlemen,

I noticed that indeed every Blu-ray Disc contains its main video in a widescreen ratio frame. Since we were used to contribute 1.33:1 in Full Frame, this happened with 90% of the Blu-ray profiles too. However this is entirely incorrect.

Shouldn't this be corrected for every profile?

You're saying that Blu-ray's of which the main feature is in the 1.33:1 aspect ratio (I've got quite a few of those) should be entered as "Widescreen 1.33:1", rather than "Full Frame 1.33:1"?

In that case, you might have given the voters on your poll a third choice: one for those who'd like to keep it as "Full Frame" anyway.

Look: *if* (and that's a big "if") the community agrees that these should be listed as "Widescreen", then I'm all for an automated contribution filter. But I'm not sure if that consensus really exists...

Quoting MatrixTom:

Since the widescreen ratio frame (which contains the actual video, e.g. 1.33:1) is part of the HD standard (1920*1080), I believe the option to leave it "Full Frame" would be wrong anyway. No such thing exists.

I understand the "technological" reasoning behind it, sure, but it wouldn't be the first time where how we handle something or label something in the DVD Profiler world is at odds with how the rest of the world sees it. I'm just saying that I'd like to know whether there's a consensus to list these as "Widescreen". If there is, then I agree that it would best be enforced by an automated contribution filter.

Absolutely NO! we're after Movie aspect ratio, not media frame aspect ratio. Or can you tell which media has Pan&Scan frame? 

agree with what the others here said. They pretty much already said it all. I won't vote in this poll.

If your saying the video format of the original The Day the Earth Stood Still on Blu-ray is anything other than Full Frame...I disagree.

Let me see if I getting what's being offered here.

1.33 films on blu-ray are really widescreen because the disc uses the whole 1.78 frame (in fact, any blu-ray does this, so call them all widescreen no matter what the content ratio is?) and any non-anamorphic dvds are FF, even if they have a WS movie on them?
What happens with anamorphic dvds? Same as BD right, it uses the whole 1.78 frame even if some is blacked out. What about anamorphic dvds that have a movie or TV show that is 1.33 windowboxed? That would now read widescreen too?

I'm not a fan, at all. I see what you are saying and think I know what you getting at but it's not what the program is for or what most of want it for. Feel free to use the notes or just change all the ratios on your local if you want, but this won't fly here. We are tracking the ratios of the content, not the encoding.
