Picture Stretch !
Posted Sun Jun 4 15:48:25 BST 2000 by Paul
What is going on, I wonder when sometimes, on a normal 4:3 TV screen, some clips of programmes appear to be very 'stretched' vertically ??? I presume this is something to do with widescreen broadcasts, but anyone know what I mean and why it happens sometimes ? ..I am prompted to ask this after seeing several clips on that 'TV Revealed' which looked really stretched !!

If the programme is made in widescreen, some producers may prefer to stretch 4:3 footage to fit the shape. It happens occasionally, but should really be avoided. Sometimes on ITV a programme (or part of a programme) is shown this way by accident.
