Now I know I shouldn't bring this up since there's probably a ton of you who think 200 Motels should only be viewed in 1.33:1, but I just needed to properly ask this question that's been on my mind.
If there were a widescreen 1.66:1 DVD version of 200 Motels, keeping in mind that the original VT footage can never be in any higher quality than 576 lines, would it be better anamorphic or non-anamorphic?

For visual aid here's some VHS shots:

Original PAL VHS

Non-Anamorphic 1.66:1

Anamorphic 1.66:1

i prefer the black bars

Gimmick what chips you got in your TV make biggest difference this day and age also how good is your vision how far away is the TV positioned.also how have the photos(shots) been taken that you have posted.

The images are purely meant as an example of where and how the film would be cropped, as they are taken from the VHS the quality is sub-standard.

What my real question is which version would be better, anamorphic, non-anamorphic, or both?

You paused VHS best i ever seen has it been digital formated from VHS how other did you take the Photos(Shots).

Actually I can't say or take the credit for how the original shot of Volman was lifted from the VHS, as I got it off the SOTCAA "200 Motels on DVD" article here: http://www.sotcaa.net/editnews/200-Motels-On-DVD.html. All I did was crop them a little to fit within the DVD image size.

I got the Big Daddy VHS 1984 version it better on old tube TV,LCD mess it up more than Ratio.I was think myself it's not worth it till old tube tv involved.sited by the Burgers
