Amazing that the Laser Disc is THX CERTIFIED and the DVD gets NON ANAMORPHIC treatment with a grainy picture to match.....

I believe --- but dont quote me on this one --- that you are correct in that non-anamorphic DVDs are made from a Laser Disc master; I know a few titles that were simply "ported over" from the LD and burned to a DVD-R, as was the case of the horrible looking and non-anamorphic Crimson Tide from Hollywood/Buena Vista.......
