hi George

In fact anamorphic means exactly the opposite of "with no distortion"  
an anamorphic picture is a distorted picture that is created in such  
a manner that it can be seen as a 'correct image' at a particular  
perspective, or through a specific lens or optical system.

Pardon the ignorance, but what does "anamorphic widescreen" or  
"anamorphic preset" mean? Literally, I think anamorphic means "with  
no distortion", but in this context?
Thanks, George
