Standard Orbit 43: It’s
Two Point Three NINE to One!

Have you ever looked at TOS or one of the movies and wondered
why there were black bars on the top or sides? In this episode of
Standard Orbit, Mike tells Drew all about aspect ratios, what they
are and why they're different. What makes the movies look
cinematic? Why does the Blu-ray of TOS not fill the screen of your
HDTV? Mike answers all these questions and more in the first of our
two-parter on the changing aspect ratios of Star Trek!
