As I remember from some of my experiments my DVD player (Philips 724)
understands 16:9 SVCD (at least in NTSC) but plays it a bit strange - it
scales it so that the image doesn't have black bars at the top/bottom (or
have them very small), something like with 2x zoom - aspect rate looks
correct but left and right part of the image are lost :-(((
16:9 can be better even if player doesn't understand it and will play as 4:3 -
if you can switch TV to 16:9 mode. In this case TV will use all available
video information to construct 16:9 image, will add black bars by itself - no
information will be lost. But AFAIK this doesn't work with all TV sets and
will require manual intervention.
