Why don't streaming providers offer an original ratio selection? It shouldn't be that hard
>>217409635Eat your slop, piggy.
It's painful trying to find funny clips on YouTube when it's all cropslop.
>>217409635Capitalism is why!
>>217409635You have to pay up for it.
>>217409635It's a control mechanism, not a consumer oriented service
>>217409635black bars give Netflix users the 'ick
>>217409778Then why do most of them offer different dubs and subs?
>>217409635>just save the movie 2 times bro storage is cheap
>>217409923The law requires it, they would cheap out on it.
>>217410098I'm pretty sure you can easily crop down a 4:3 feed to 16:9 on the client's video player
>>217410098Netflix's net profit margin is almost 30%. They're an extremely profitable company.
>>217410258>>217410413You get to stream whichever release the streaming service is licensed to carry, which is controlled by the owning studio. It's not just about the aspect ratio, it's all the edits associated with that specific release. An old SD release and newer 4k release are two completely different products, just just a different crop applied to 1 product.And why should the studio allow the streaming service to apply crop transformations on their video product? What would they gain?
>>217409635Disney did with The Simpson's after everyone complained it was 16:9.
>>217410098yeah, storage is actually extremely cheap. It's bandwidth that's expensive
Elaine get gape in 4:3
Just pirate the 4:3 version
Just finished the DVDs not too long ago. Even the DVD menus were 4:3. Ultra comfy. Gotta go back at some point and watch every episode with Notes About Nothing turned on.
