This info would be nice, but I doubt that we will see it in DVD Profiler, because in most cases you can't get this info from the DVD (except when clearly documented in a featurette or an audio commentary).
Most info would have to come from forbidden third-party databases, which also are not nearly a 100% correct.

So, no offense jfrench, but I'm pretty sure that you shouldn't have high expectations to see this feature added.

For local management you could create tags for DVDs with wrong aspect ratios or use the info-field.

Hi again,

I got into things so deeply that I forgot the original intent of my post.

Prior to purchasing a DVD that says "Widescreen" I want to determine if it's Anamorphic or not.  After I've opened it and started watching it is just a little too late.

I had spent about an hour trying to find a definitive answer to the original aspect ratio of "Anatomy of a Murder" without finding a satisfactory answer.

Quoting skipnet50:

As Skip says' You may not trust IMDB results,, but if you want a quick and dirty answer, that site will fulfill at least most if not all the answer. In other words you can spend hours trying to find the correct answer on the 'Net', and most of all 'those' answers will reflect back to IMDB. Unless you can find a web site devoted entirely to Anatomy of a Murder,(there isn't)  most movie web sites including Amazon get their specs from IMDB.  ( they should be getting their specs from us!! )
I usually trust IMDB for general specs such as running times and years of release, black and white vs color, and DVD availability , etc etc  etc.
The area that IMDB falls back on is usually correct names for cast and crew and  spelt correctly., or maybe a minute or two out in running times.
For a 1959 window that would be mostly a court room drama, I'm sure it is not Panavsion or Cinemascope. and just about all films from the mid fifties to late 80's and beyond are at least 1:85 aspect which is pretty well the norm.

looking over the screen grabs  the full screen has a lot more ' roof/ ceiling' to the shots,, so keep an eyeout  for boom mikes .. 

True enough, sufeur. That's why i rely on my tools that tell me about the DISC and its contents.

I do see one reason to offer this.

For modified aspect ratio titles.

I believe Kung Fu: Season 1 was released in 1.78, when of course it was originally shown on TV back in the 1970's in full screen 1.33 ratio.
