|   1.66 widescreen? | Coldwater
Apr 28, 2003 1:34 PM | | Ok, if a widescreen is 1.77 then, how can this fit into a widescreen tv or a tv with a 16x9 mode? |
| Ther is no "1.66" widescreen? | Smokey
Apr 28, 2003 3:01 PM | | Only available movie formats are 1.33:1 (4:3), 1.78:1 (16:9), 1.85:1, and 2.35:1.
Anf if there was such a format, to be displayed on a wide screen, black bars have to be inserted on each side. |

This aspect ratio does exist but is most commonly used in european movies and rarely used in america. In our country 1:85 is the most common aspect ratio used for films. In europe it is 1:66:1

Apr 29, 2003 2:57 PM | | So most European movies shown on wide screen TVs will have side bars? |

On a 1:78:1 television(wrongly termed 16x9) black bars will frame all sides of the image on a movie using the 1:66:1 aspect ratio.

Apr 30, 2003 6:31 PM | | I believe that 1.66:1 anamorphic widescreen DVDs feature slight 'black bars' on the sides, generally masked by overscan.
"Treasure Planet" is labeled as 1.66:1 OAR, with enhanced for 16x9 TVs.
