Or understand video compression or grasp the concept of poorly shot footage, not to mention the confusion over the orginal aspect ratio.
Oh funny story on this matter, the first day of the Saddam Trial, there are two local cameramen covering the courtroom. One has his camera set to 4:3 aspect ratio, the other has it set to 16:9. It starts to be fed in, and the engineer sees the 4:3 pics, and assumes it's 4:3 and sets the feed up accordly, then the 16:9 shots start coming, he thinks he's going mad, and resets the arc to be 16:9, then a couple of 4:3 shots come in, and this poor SOB thinks he's seeing things.
Man I got handed these pictures, and it was like a freaking hall of mirrors in the fun house, and I had to fix em, So stuff was 4:3 arc'd to 16:9, some stuff was 16:9 that had been arc'd as 4:3, some of the stuff had even been run through two arc's trying to figure out what was going on. I had squat Saddam, Lardass Saddam, Abraham Lincoln Saddam, and Saddam who could play in the NBA. The best way to check if something is in the wrong aspect ratio is to look at the curvature of anything approaching round, and look for elogation or compression. I swear I spent fifteen minutes staring at Hussein's ear thinking to myself..."does this look right?"
Anywho Colmes and Hannity when up my estimation, by a good, oh I now have a remote insignificant modicum of respect for them.
