Problems with TV formats

Pan and scan when talking about DVDs is refered to primarily as making a widescreen image appear correct in a standard screen.  So Pan and Scan is geared towards 4:3.  

If you play it on a widescreen TV it is stretched as hell.

Pan and scan is a generic term though and it also refers to making 2:35 material fit in 16:9 as well, but with DVDs we are talking 4:3....

You can watch p&s footage on a widescreen TV without it being stretched, but then you\'ll have black bars in the side (plus it would be pretty stupid because you go from widescreen footage -> cropped to 4:3 -> displayed on a widescreen TV in 4:3 format :D).
