Nope, that won't work - it will just stretch the width of the image. You can "zoom" in, but you lose a lot of video quality and can still crop out parts of the video.

Basically anamorphic DVDs use video capacity of the disc for the video, where non-anamorphic DVDs have a smaller video hard matted with the black widescreen bars on the disc. Thus anamorphic discs have higher image quality, and resize much better.

The DigitalBits has a good & simple explanation of anamorphic vs. non-anamorphic DVDs

Yeah, you are thinking of Soul Kiss - and yes as Trevor mentioned, it is a stunt eel. As I recall, it was really a "soap plant".

No Hydro, Soul Kiss and Three Days are two different videos / DVDs entirely.

Soul Kiss - http://janesaddiction.org/discography/j ... soul-kiss/

Three Days - http://janesaddiction.org/discography/j ... hree-days/

Soul Kiss has the eel in it.
Three Days does not.

I saw it. Nowhere near as bad as I was lead to believe :thumb:

it had a cool vibe, but not enough of the song's in thie entirety for my taste...........showing only small cuts of Beach and Whores? if those tunes were on un-cut it would have been better
