do they count the black bars across the top and bottom? or is the resolution just the picture?

resolution....isn't DVD like 720x480 or something like that?

the resolution depends on what the aspect ratio is.

the resolution of a 1:35 aspect ratio movie is gong to be less than the resolution of a movie with a 1:85 aspect ratio. the actual picture in the 1:85 aspect ratio is bigger than in the 1:35 picture.

 
if the dvd is anamorphic, then the picture itself has 480 lines. if it is regular letterbox, then the picture and black bars are included in the 480 line count.
 
animorphic = black bars not counted. or atleast mostly if it really really wide. not that it matters on a regular piss resolution tv which has no resolution to display to begin with. dvd player tosses out extra resolution. on nice monitor or hdtv it gets displayed🙂
