Subject: [Videolib] DVD - Widescreen vs. Full Screen
I would like some feedback from public librarians as to how they
purchase DVD's with Widescreen vs. Full Screen formats. As a
librarian, I feel we should only purchase the Widescreen (Director's
cut) format, but our patrons seem to prefer the Fullscreen format.
Asone patron stated, he didn't buy a large screen tv to have only part
of
the screen filled with the movie! When the differences of the two
formats were explained to him, he still wanted the Fullscreen format.
Hopefully, you all can help me answer this dilemma so I can write my
collection guidelines as to which format we will purchase when faced
with the choice of only selecting one copy! Thanks - Julie
