And yes we all know you meant the Zoom button on your SONY WIDESCREEN TV, we skipped player's zoom buttons discussions.

Escapay, you took that long to see it was a pan/scan?

The reason you see variations in screenshot vertical areas are often various. mvealf's screenshots were taken direct from his tv that had some overscan; this Cinemascope 2.55 transfer made from the negatives not only shows more width than the cropped 2.35 previous one, it also shows more vertical image , particulary in the bottom, judging from some of the screen cap comparisons I've seen; also, on top of that, a transfer may use a slightly diferent sliver of area from the camera image in the negative cus the Camera Aperture is always bigger than the precise intended Projector Aperture (usually 5% bigger than the Projector intended Aperture) so in a new scan this might be positioned slighly different (That's why the Camera Aperture (or "hole") is slightly bigger, accounts for any mechanical errors in printing/scanning); and last but not least, sometimes the captures are not from the exact, same, frame! ok?

I guess you didn't read Paka's post pointing to a possible, easy, source for the Academy version. Shucks...
