> A 480p DVD in 2.35:1 format is really only 422p.
In the early days of DVD, that was the case. But look closely at most widescreen DVDs. They say something like "Enhanced for widescreen TVs". This means that the video is anamorphic, and the full 480 horizontal lines of resolution are retained, no matter how wide the film is.
