Ah, so they've opened the matte up rather than cropping. Explains a lot. Same thing would happen if they released 1.78:1 versions of the digital Star Wars films.
I am pretty sure the 1.78:1 version is a matte removal print, not a cropping. You're not missing any of the picture, just getting some redundant picture information.
i really liked the movie to
but I don't understand how a little over crop will change anything.. :/

Just keep the cropped version and sell it on ebay a few years later for several times the price.

Wrong aspect ratio on Lord of War dvd
For those of you who picked up the Lord of War dvd... remember how, a few weeks ago, on the digitalbits reported on Lionsgate releasing Lord of War (a 2.40:1 aspect ratio film) on DVD cropped to fill the 1.78:1 frame. They asked the studio about it, and they said it was a decision made by the production company? Yeah... well, maybe it was the production company's fault. But now it looks like it WAS the screw-up all along. Readers are starting to report seeing new copies of Lord of War on store shelves, marked with a sticker on the back of case (over the old aspect ratio information) saying that the film is now presented in the correct 2.40:1 ratio. Upon buying and watching the new stickered disc, they report that it has indeed been quietly re-issued at the correct 2.40:1. Boy... if this is true, a LOT of folks who purchased the cropped version are going to be P**SED.
