What is Anamorphic, What does it mean/do?
I was going to write up a good description, but having found these sites, all I can say is take a look at http://www.dvdweb.co.uk/information/anamorphic.htm. It provides a very good explanation as does http://home.clapro.com/widescreen/.Simply put, Anamorphic is a method where by a picture is encoded into the disk in such a way as to allow the best possible quality and resolution when played back on a wide screen or 16:9 TV. It is also often referred to as ‘enhanced for wide screen TV’s’.
