In theory some DVDs might have the info where to pan the scan 4:3 area 
during the scenes on the film, so it can be continually changing left to 
right and vice versa.

Did I misunderstood sometinhg or this is a valid feature?

If valid, is it unexploited like the possibility to change viewpoints in a 
DVD, or there are real DVD disks utilizing this?
