Film-to-Video Transfers: Time for a Change
This article reexamines the process of converting motion-picture film images to television. New specifications are proposed for the area of the film frame to be transferred. With a 16×9 display, incorporating the proposal allows the same, or very nearly the same, image to be seen on the monitor as that seen in the theater. For 4×3 displays, the picture matches as nearly as the aspect ratio difference allows. The proposal is intended to make film and video more compatible, while retaining backward compatibility.
