Green Fire comparison errors?

Postby Chris_Xa » 18 Jan 2014 08:02

Can't submit this as a "correction", for I'm unsure what the precise situation is. Here are the facts and questions as I perceive them:

* Film: Green Fire ( http://www.dvdcompare.net/comparisons/f ... ?fid=19247 )
* OAR (Original Aspect Ratio) is 2.55:1 according to IMDB and http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/76966/Gr ... ratio.html .
* http://shop.warnerarchive.com/product/g ... 0179997.do user reviews indicate the video is indeed 2.55:1 , and not in mono sound.
* Measuring the http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film3/dvd_revi ... n_fire.htm screencaps, they appear to measure at 2.55:1 also.

HOWEVER:
* The Beaver screencaps... is it my imagination, or do the faces (especially Grace Kelly's) appear "horizontally stretched" a little?
* We also know that we can't rely on Warner's case specs.
* And Rewind's comparison (based on the Beaver review's specs) state 2.35:1 , and mono.

QUESTIONS:
* We know the OAR is 2.55:1 - but is the R1 DVD 2.35:1 , 2.35:1 stretched to 2.55:1 , or 2.55:1 ?
* And is it mono or stereo sound?
