It depends what type of screen you're watching it on ! A 'standard' TV set uses 4:3 ratio. A wide-screen model uses 16:9 ratio.
Widescreen DVD's are designed for modern TV's with an aspect ration of 16:9 (almost twice as wide as tall). Most movies made in the past 50 years will fit better on these screens, although most will show a small band of black at the top and bottom of the screen. Full Screen DVD's have the movie edited to fit on an older TV with a 4:3 aspect ratio (almost square). These movies will play on a widescreen TV, but large black bars on the sides (pillarboxes) will be present and some of the movie's original screen space is lost in the edit. Most TV shows created in the past 5 years are formatted for Widescreen viewing, which is also the aspect ratio of High Definition television.
Full screen... Kids like to watch movies on a big screen.
Anamorphic format is usually used for standard widescreen movies on a standard 35 mm movie. Anamorphic widescreen uses an aspect ratio of 4:3 for a DVD Format.
A "full screen subtitle special DVD" typically refers to a DVD that displays content in a full-screen format, meaning it fills the entire screen without letterboxing or pillarboxing. It includes subtitles for accessibility or viewer preference, allowing viewers to read dialogue while watching the film. The term "special" may indicate that the DVD contains additional features, such as behind-the-scenes content or commentary.
In computer graphics, the relative horizontal and vertical sizes. For example, if a graphic has an aspect ratio of 2:1, it means that the width is twice as large as the height. When resizing graphics, it is important to maintain the aspect ratio to avoid stretching the graphic out of proportion. The term is also used to describe the dimensions of a display resolution. For example, a resolution of 800x600 has an aspect ratio of 4:3.
On your TV, you have the ability to change the aspect ratio of the picture. What's happening is that you may have the aspect ratio improperly set so that the DVD's picture doesn't fill the screen, or possibly the video was filmed in an aspect ratio that's different that our current standards (maybe something originally ilmed in a different video format). On your computer, it sounds like you're seeing the edges of the viewing area of your monitor. ALL CRT (tube type monitors) have a usable viewing area, but also conatin a black line around the top, bottom and sides.
the sides of the movie that you see at the theater are cut out in "full screen" DVD's, that way you don't see the empty space on top and bottom on your square TV. The theater screens are a rectangle shape.
Ff stands for "fullscreen," indicating that the DVD content is presented in a fullscreen aspect ratio (4:3) rather than widescreen (16:9).
I live in Australia and i got mine from Target.
The 720x480 aspect ratio is significant in digital media production because it is a standard resolution used in older television and DVD formats. It is important for maintaining compatibility with older devices and ensuring that content is displayed correctly on various screens.
Which setting did you use to publish/finish the PP video? It sounds like the aspect ratio for wide-screen (16:9) was selected instead of 4.3. That's the only reason I can see for the top of clips missing on the DVD playback.But that does not account for the sides of the video not being visible though (since 16:9 ratio would show full sides). Are you sure the Zoom setting on the actual television you are viewing the DVD on isn't set to a level 1 or 2 zoom?? That would certainly chop off the top and sides of the video.
