I was impressed by the beginning of "The History of Scotland" the other
day, watching on analogue. It started in 16:9 letterbox (or maybe even
more - I didn't measure) for the landscapes etc. in the early sequences,
then the picture "grew" vertically over about 30 seconds (presumably by
cropping the edges) up to a 14:9 ratio. very smoothly too.

So someone still cares.


Its quite common for the titles to be letterboxed, they might not fit if
they aren't.
