This foul piece of tripe is nothing short of blasphemy. For one thing, REAL movies in REAL movie theatres are presented in their true aspect ratios. To preserve these ratios on stupidly square screens, black bars must be present. That being the case, this application is not only 100% moronic, but actually does rotten things a movie. Yes, this application belongs with the "Terror Alert Menu Bar" and other such completely useless fodder as they run for competition in "The World's Worst Software" awards, held each year at the Kodak Theatre (in deep midwinter).

Utterly Useless Garbage - jowie

You miss an important point. What if you have a TV output to a 16:9 television? Since Apple don't supply a 16:9 resolution for composite output, this is the next best thing. It makes perfect sense. Otherwise I'd be watching 16:9 movies on a 16:9 television squished with black bars.
