Just received the new DVD's, and I am Sooo excited!! But I do have to say something seems wierd about the filming of these particular ones. I have ALL of Cathe's dvd's and I LOVE them. They are my favorite. I don't want to seem like I am complaining but, these look different. Like maybe they used a narrow angle lense when they filmed it and it seems really shakey. Does anyone else see this? Thanks!! Chris
 
Are you watching them on an older TV - like a square one? I noticed that they do seem squished together - but figured that is because they were filmed in a wild format - and my workout TV is an older square one.
 
Widescreen Format

The new DVDs are filmed in widescreen format (16:9) instead of (4:3) like we have done in the past. (4:3) is a legacy format now and it no longer makes since to film in (4:3) anymore as we don't want to date ourselves. If you have a modern Tv just set it to one of the widescreen formats. The widescreen format is actually how your natural eyes see the world - more horizontal and less height.
 
I just finished Total Body and it looked fine to me. I did the digital download and played it on my Apple TV and have a flat HDTV, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it.
 
Hmmmmm . . . sounds like a bummer 'cuz we just recently moved into this century with our first widescreen TV and it is not in my workout room.

Perhaps my reason for getting a flat widescreen in the workout room now, huh? ;)
 
Jacque, great Christmas gift to yourself.
Didn't order cause cause I havent done STS yet but want to read feedback.
 
This means I'll need to figure out how to do something other than on/off and volume on the tv! Honeyyyy! HELP!
