I went to watch TOS tonight and noticed it was in Widescreen and thought it was some kind of error. But no....All 4:3 films and shows have been zoomed in to be widescreen.
Netflix - TOS and TAS are now cropped to 16:9

- Start date

Exactly. The shows I really care about, I have to own on DVD or Bluray. Not only could they be deleted from the catalog by a streaming service, they can be altered for various reasons without explanation or notice.
Nevermind it was an App on my computer that did it, sorry guys.
The CBS channel in the UK showed them zoomed in to fill a widescreen view last I watched.
So yeah, ditto owning the blu-rays and DVDs.
I certainly don't approve of altering any visual media in this way. As our friend Christopher pointed out in another thread, it's like cutting off pieces of a painting to make it fit the frame. But, JOOC, has any care been taken with cropping the image to 16:9? Has each shot been individually re-framed, or are entire episodes simply lopped off at the top and bottom?
Not seen, but I suspect the latter...
The 1977 Wonder Woman series has been converted to 16:9 for streaming services and broadcasts on MeTV. I've been wondering how it was done. It doesn't look like things are cut off at the top and bottom.
Neither. The OP has already retracted his statement earlier in the thread.
Another thought about the discs over Netflix, the older copies will end with the Paramount logo and music outro, Netflix gives us the CBS outro.
Bit like watching The Force Awakens and wondering where the Fox fanfare is.

Do you mean the earlier DVDs? I think the blu-rays are all the same and only have the CBS outro.
If it can be afforded, there's nothing better than having the physical media.
