And more importantly, will new B5 CGI content finally
use a true 16:9 square pixel ratio of sufficient
resolution for HD (e.g. 1280x720p) thereby avoiding
any cropping/zooming for a 16:9 frame and the resultant
loss in resolution.

We've already discussed shooting it in wide, and *editing* in wide (rather than
4:3 as we did on the B5 series) and then *compositing and creating cgi* in
wide, so that however it gets initially shown, it'll exist from the git-go in a
true wide version.
