The 1.78 aspect ratio refers to what is encoded on the DVD, including
black bars above and below the actual movie.  The 2.35 aspect ratio
refers to the letter boxed movie, the part where the action takes
place, inside the black bars.  And there is no such thing as "16/9
widescreen (2.35)": 16/9 is the same as 1.78.
