Would it be possible to add an additional set of graphical representations for Non-Anamorphic Widescreen formats? Something like this would more accurately depict the video presentation you will get when you play one of these discs:



as opposed to



This would let you know right away that you are going to have to use one your magnification modes to view this title in FULL Widescreen. It would also let you know not to expect too much from the viewing experience since magnifying tends to add quite a bit of graininess.

The way they are depicted right now, there appears to be no difference between "Widescreen" and "Anamorphic Widescreen".

I like it.

But it would have to be done only for DVD (doesn't hold true for HD DVD or BD).

I haven't made the shift to Blu-Ray or HD DVD yet. Do they even have this distinction?

Edit: Nevermind! I have the answer to this question.
