Errr... DVDs are at roughly 720 x 480...
Edit: I'm not registering w/ the NY Times just to read one stupid article.

They aren't roughly at 720x480, they ARE at 720 x 480.

Unless you're dealing with a format other than NTSC.

They're 720x576 (PAL output). Don't know what they use for cinema projection - didn't even know the technology was in widespread use.
