Valentina's Dad:

1. I didn't say their software didn't work as advertised. I said you'll pay more of a price than just the cost, and as a whole the Mac community doesn't want to support companies that operate using those methods.

2. There is no way to "convert" a 4:3 picture into widescreen without either a) zooming in or b) stretching. It's just not mathematically possible to avoid this. So when you convert a 4:3 to widescreen, you are likely zooming in -- and losing the composition of the picture that the filmmakers intended.

To wit:
