widescreen and fake widescreen

[DaRkEnEdStAr]

i heard something that when sci fi released the b5 widescreen version , It wasn`t true widescreen , All they had done was to crop the Image and place black bars at the top and bottom . is this True ? and if so how can you tell the difference between them ? I have 2 eps on vhs wich are Widescreen (taped) but one doesn`t look right ....

I remember when Sky did that for their widescreen movies channel. /forums/images/icons/smile.gif
