If only they had! Isn't it obvious they just stretched the regular version?

Not that it really makes any difference. As always, sales have been a little SLOWER than usual following this exposure.

The widescreen version has the bubbles on the right and a stretch of purple coral.

It looks like they are as hopeless over there at setting up 16x9 TVs as they are over here! - I decided years ago, that no one cares, as long as they fill the whole screen with a picture! ... any picture!

Yes - it drives me crazy.

+2.

One of my ex's was the same - as long as there weren't any black bits she thought she had a "high quality picture".

Tiny Turtle · 11-09-2007, 04:08 PM

"Ex" being the operative word...

SunKing · 11-15-2007, 08:46 AM

Oh yeah - I get a bit frustrated when people strech a 4:3 resolution into a 16:9 screen. What's worse, is when they assume it's "high def" just because it's 16:9....uggg.

sorry guys, I should have known better...
At the first look I thought it was the WS version.
I need a nap...

I posted comments on them. The comments system on YouTube is annoying. It gives no indication that your comment has been received or that it will be posted.

MA made another appearance again on Reaper on last night's episode. This time it was real quick, I couldn't tell if it was on a laptop or if it was a small portable dvd player.

Did anyone happen to Tivo Wednesday's Law and Order or yesterday's Las Vegas? Looking for screenshots of the Aquarium.

feldon34 · 01-06-2008, 01:24 PM

I'm sure we TiVoed Wednesday's Law & Order. Will watch for the Aquarium...

I'll look for it also.

Hey, that looks great, Pat. I just wish NBC hadn't plastered their logo all over my artwork. How did you do the capture?

patscarr · 01-08-2008, 04:49 PM

I used a program called ImageGrab to capture the frames, then ACDSee to edit them, and Ulead GIF Animator to put them all together.

Marian Nichols · 01-08-2008, 05:04 PM

Smart guy, great work!
