[OT] Why do so few people understand aspect ratios?

[ted leslie]

i think you may be right, the only defense of some might be that 
given the RLE compression of most or all compression codec, the
all black compresses into just about nothing.
i.e. repeat that (all black alphabet symbol), 1000's of times at start and end,
it might be an extremely extremely small fraction  of the stream/file size, but
again, i can't really see a need to do it myself unless you know your
targetting a stupid device.
