You guys might be confusing some terms. For example, DVDs that use NTSC are all the same pixel resolution, 720x480. That is a square pixel ratio of 1.5:1. DVDs will then stretch this into a 4:3 or 16:9 image depending on your television.

Filmmakers are going to continue shooting in whichever aspect ratio they prefer. It could be 4:3, the most common 1.85:1, 2.35:1, 2.66:1, etc. They are likely all going to be presented on your monitor in the same pixel ratio...16:9.
