| | Posted: | | | | Well, the bulk of the film is 2.40:1 but the IMAX filmed scenes are 1.78:1 so I predict a million pages of retarded posting. Personally, I would go 2.40:1 locally and lock it whilst writing in the notes section about the IMAX scenes. No matter what you choose, you won't win.  |

| | Posted: | | | | Had exactly this problem and decided for 2.40:1
But surely wouldn't vote "No" if someone removed the Aspect Ratio.
In this case, I fear, there is no "Correct" solution for DVDProfiler | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

| | Posted: | | | | I just submitted an update to the existing profile that I have of this yesterday, the original didn't have an aspect ratio, I decided 2.40:1 So we'll see if it gets accepted...
Problem is it's also a combo pack so there's dvd stuff mixed in with blu-ray. Interestingly as well, the original profile was submitted Nov 28th and approved Nov 27th :-) |

so I predict a million pages of retarded posting. I gotta remember not to read funny stuff while trying to drink something.  | | | My one wish for the DVD Profiler online database: Ban or remove the disc-level profiles of TV season sets. It completely screws up/inflates the CLT.
FACT: Imdb is WRONG 70% of the time! Misspelled cast, incomplete cast, wrong cast/crew roles. So for those who want DVD Profiler to be "as perfect as Imdb", good luck with that.
Stop adding UNIT crew! They're invalid credits. Stop it! | | | | Last edited: by huskersports |

| | Posted: | | | | What does it say the aspect ratio is on the back of the box? If there is a question as to which of these two it should be, shouldn't the packaging over-rule one or the other? |

LOL same here, I was just drinking coffee when I read this However on the bright side TRON:Legacy was in the same boat with mixed IMAX scenes and it looks like we did the AR of the majority of the film so we did the same thing that is being discussed |

Tongue in cheek...I hope I'm sorry. I messed up my math. It should be 2.14. |

| | Posted: | | | | I would probably pick none as it's variable but I don't care how it's done online, nor do I intend to vote on any such changes. | | | | First registered: February 15, 2002 |

| | Posted: | | | | I think we should use the outside edges of any content to measure AR. That would make this 1.78:1. If any part of the movie uses the 2.4 matte area, it's not 2.4. |

| | Posted: | | | | Leave it empty would be the logical choice. Until there is a multiple selection for w/s aspect ratio.
But that won't happen. There will be 5 pages of arguing back and forth, then when it seems everyone might be in agreement, then someone new will reply something to throw it in a tailspin again.
Before the inevitable happens.
I would like to thank bx5=0 for another discussion that gets the community arguing back and forth.
