Anamorphic
|
A film or video format in which a widescreen image has been "squeezed" horizontally (either with lenses or by digital manipulation) to fit a standard 4:3 aspect ratio. Correct picture geometry is restored on playback by "unsqueezing" the image into its original aspect ratio. Anamorphic DVDs are sometimes marked "Enhanced for widescreen TVs." See: Widescreen, Aspect Ratio.
