widescrean 16×9

Uh, it means widescreen as opposed to 4×3, but both can be standard def. What are you wanting to do? Using widescreen (anamorphic) is not hard, but you need to know a few things. Suggest you read this:

[johnsabbath] “what does this mean widescrean 16×9???”

There are several different forms of wide screen. For example when I watch a wide screen show on my widescreen TV some times it fills the entire screen, and some times it puts black bars on the top and bottom.

16X9 refers to the aspect ratio. 16 units wide by 9 units high.
