what happens when a SD w/ letterbox matt filter is viewed on a wide screen tv?
Dumb question I have never thought about…
Client wants me to apply the widescreen – letterbox matte filter to his 10 year old 4:3 SD program.
So what happens when this SD video it is viewed on a wide screen TV?
Thanks in advance,

It will be stretched to fill out the 16 x 9 screen. You will still see the black letterbox borders, but your image will look “squashed”. People will look wider and “heavier”. GRFX, like a perfect circle will look like an oval.
This is not the best way to adapt your 4 x 3 programs for a 16 x 9 screen. This topic has been discussed frequently. Do a search.
