Most DVD movies are however a much wider 2.35:1 aspect. This will not completely fill a 16:9 widescreen TV, but the size of the black bars at the top and bottom of the movie will be substantially less than a 4:3 screen. You can use zoom functions to get a correct aspect full screen image but by doing this you are cropping the sides of the image. I'm not even sure that you can get a native 2.35:1 widescreen TV since most broadcasts would have to be stretched.
This flash movie explains this perfectly.
