Basically using the 16:9 HD version as some kind of Open Matte source material, if there are no shifts between scenes this should be trivial.

- dietrichepp 12y agoAs you can see in the second example in the article, there are changes. There's a 4:3 original, followed by the naive widescreen version, followed by a widescreen version that has been edited to try to preserve more of the original intent. Cropping back to 4:3 will no longer get you the original scene.
