1.66 Anamorphic DVDs?

[DVDCat]

Hello, I was wondering if any DVDs have been produced in an anamorphic 1.66 ratio? I would have thought it's technically possible but I'm not aware of any discs being produced like this. I've had a look at IMDb which seems to show the DVD versions of 1.66 films as being either 1.66 letterbox or 1.85 anamorphic.

Rocky Horror Picture Show springs to mind.

I can't help thinking this is the wrong forum BTW.

Army of Darkness THX edition is another

Some discs are 1.66:1 Anamorphic, it's done by zooming the picture outslightly (so you get small black bars on the left and right of the screen, these are normally hidden by overscan)

Disney do anamorphic 1.66:1. ie R1 Tarzan

MGM refuse to do anamorphic 1.66:1.
