ok, so lets look at an example of gspot info.
this is from a vob file from pal version of dirty dozen.
the package states the film is 5.1 dolby sound and 2.20 widescreen aspect ratio.
so gspot shows the audio as 6 channels, 3/2.1.
ok, this is easy enough to know it is 5.1 surround sound.
now lets look at the video.
SAR - storage aspect ratio
PAR - pixel aspect ratio
DAR - display aspect ratio, measured in cms/inches not in pixels. DAR is SAR * PAR.
we can see that the picture is stated as 16:9 and the DAR is 1.778:1.
so which is the true aspect ratio figure?
the 2.20:1 as stated on the cover?
or 1.778:1 as stated by gspot?
or are they both right, as they are using two different measurements?
any ideas good people?
