[QuadList] DVD vs Blu-Ray

[Steve White]

Thanks for the opportunity to ask, can someone help me get a better 
grasp of DVD vs Blu-Ray formats?

I recently received a video disc labeled as an NTSC DVD of the Garth 
Brooks "Blame It All On My Roots" performance in Las Vegas. Playback on 
my Blu-Ray deck displays as full screen on a new Panasonic plasma screen 
capable of 1080p without obvious aspect ratio distortions.

Garth's performance is incredible; lighting, camera work, audio, 
direction all are great.  Apparently, there is currently no Blu-Ray disc 
available.

- Is it technically correct to label the DVD as NTSC when the image 
displayed is 16:9?

- What's the likely resolution/format?  Any suggestions on how I could 
have confirmed that without asking you?

Many thanks,
Steve
