Cropping simply removes overscanned portions of the original image. Panning
and scanning follows the activity in the original frame, using only that
portion that will be visible in a smaller aspect ratio window. One of the
best examples of this was from 'Lawrence of Arabia,' where Lawrence appeared
on the extreme left end of the original film frame, and his Bedouin guide
appeared on the extreme right end of the frame. The broadcast television
version of the film could only show one character or the other at any one
time. It looked like the camers kept jumping back and forth between the two
characters when they spoke their lines to each other. Simple cropping of
the film would have resulted in chopping off the two ends of the frame and
showing perhaps two noses conversing with one another.

Can't get those links to work but...
> My HD display is 1.78, not 1.85.
oh... that... Film is 1.85 not 1.78 - that is a newbie from DTV. What
this means to you is if you have no overscan you will get very tiny
black bars top and bottom with 1.85
Sometimes they will crop the edges of the original to make it a 1.78
master for DVD release.
Most folks have enough overscan to hide this fact. If you do see it
there is nothing wrong, it is normal.
What movie is this?
Thanks
