<font face="Tahoma">Thanks for the opportunity to ask, can someone
help me get a better grasp of DVD vs Blu-Ray formats?<br>
<br>
I recently received a video disc labeled as an NTSC DVD of the
Garth Brooks "Blame It All On My Roots" performance in Las Vegas.
Playback on my Blu-Ray deck displays as full screen on a new
Panasonic plasma screen capable of 1080p without obvious aspect
ratio distortions.<br>
<br>
Garth's performance is incredible; lighting, camera work, audio,
direction all are great. Apparently, there is currently no
Blu-Ray disc available.<br>
<br>
- Is it technically correct to label the DVD as NTSC when the
image displayed is 16:9?<br>
<br>
- What's the likely resolution/format? Any suggestions on how I
could have confirmed that without asking you?<br>
<br>
Many thanks,<br>
Steve<br>
