13. it is exactly how it works

Your comment is correct, but has nothing to do with the Widescreen/fullscreen controversy. And if you want to get technical: it has nothing to do with PAL/SECAM or NTSC either. These are just color-carriers, the different frequencies/resolutions are a leftover from B&W times, based on the power grid frequencies.

My point stands:
Because of the 100 extra lines, there are almost no pan and scan releases. The available vertical resolution is good enough to use widescreen without loosing too much detail. Also the conversion from 24FPS movies to 25 FPS is easier than for 30 FPS.

;-)
