this is correct.. ..or lets say... it's not correct that a 720p movie is 720p...
this is because there are hardly any movies which are 16:9.
There are only 2 possibilities for a 720p movie to be 720p.
1) the movie is 16:9 - like said before.. noone ever produced a movie in 16:9.. 16:9 was a big lie to sell tvs
2) the other possibility is, that the black borders are "in the picture" - seen often on camrips - to cover something
so most 1080p movies aren't 1920x1080 and most 720p movies aren't 1280x720. they have less scanlines - and if a program detects the scanlines it's hard to know if this should be 720p.. or anything else
