Vocabulary Question: "Inverse-Anamorphic Video"?
I have a question not particularly tied to Final Cut Studio, but just a general vocabulary question:
Is there an accepted term for video with a 4:3-aspect-ratio pixels, like we so often see nowadays when older, 4:3-aspect-ratio video is stretched out horizontally to fill a 16:9-aspect-ratio screen?
The only phrase I can think of to name it would be "inverse anamorphic," in the sense that an anamorphic, 35mm print of a widescreen movie, as distributed to movie theaters, is called an "anamorphic print," and that is where the aspect ratio of the pixels is less than 1:1. Since this is a case of 4:3-aspect-ratio video (aspect ratio >1), I guess "inverse-anamorphic" is ... a plausible guess as to what to call it...
