you use 2.35:1. you should use 4:3 as well

1.66 is also known as 5:3....just a suggestion. :-)

These would be perfect. Nod

Unless you wanted to convey the three "major" differences in aspect ratio with the icons (numbers apart). You could have a 4:3 icon, a 16:9 icon and a 2.35 icon (I'm referring to the "graphic part"), with different writing in them for 1.33, 1.66, 1.78, etc.

But the ones you have already look great, in my opinion. Thanks!

On DVD-Video cover cases these or more commonly written out as:
1:33:1
1.66:1
1:78:1
1:85:1
2:20:1
2:35:1

but when spoken about they are more commonly referred to as:

1:33:1 = 4:3
1.66:1 ~ 16:9 = Widescreen (American Widesceen)
1:78:1 ~ 16:9 = Widescreen (Standard Widescreen)
1:85:1 ~ 16:9 = Widescreen (American Widesceen)
2:20:1 ~ 16:9 = Widescreen (American Widesceen)
2:35:1 ~ CinemaScope or Anamorphic Widescreen

...2:35:1 is probably best shown as a "2:35:1" logo Nod

I really don't think 2:20:1 is 16x9 on every video I have that has that there are massive black bars at the top and bottom of my 16x9 tv

BTW, there are two icons AVC1 and H.264. Are not those synonymous?

So I'm told but they are reported different by the fourcc code on my Install so I made different ones
