<div>> Assuming its USA distribution only, "NTSC" will
probably be sufficient. If you want to satisfy the techies and
confuse those who haven't bathed in weeks :), then add
"Anamorphic". If you wish to help out the unbathed (or confuse
them further), you might want to put a note on the packaging
to set their screen to wide screen mode. If you wish to be
agonizing thorough, then include the terms that the various
companies use, such as cinematic zoom, etc.</div>

may be making this much more complicated, but as a certified
stickler for correct semantics in all things technical, I must
point out that no DVD is truly NTSC. This is because NTSC
refers to composite 525-line 29.97fps video with color
amplitude-modulated as two 90 degree-phased suppressed-carrier
signals (upper sidebands only, bandwidth-limited) operating at
3.579545MHz. The video on all DVDs is component and contains
NO color subcarrier information. The color is recorded as two
separate bandwidth-limited channels of video (not subcarrier
sidebands) additional to the full-bandwidth luminance, all
packed into the digital information held on the disc. So
technically, you can't call it NTSC as that is now a dead
format and never actually was a part of any DVD.</div>
