4:3, if you're talking about non-widescreen movies. Aspect ratio, though, should not be associated with 'full screen', because on a widescreen display, the aspect ratio for full screen would be 16:9 and for most normal displays 4:3. -
You are confusing the 2 types of aspect ratios (never mind, I did too)
A (old) TV and a PC monitor have an aspect ratio of 4:3 (that is, the width is 4/3 of the hight). New TV's (widescreen) have an aspect ratio of "16:9", just like cinema movies.
However, there are 2 "widescreen" formats: the 1.85:1 (the one the TV uses and some movies). Or the 2.35:1 wich some other movies use.

The other aspect ratios are the pixel-aspect-ratios: On a computer, a pixel is square: 1:1. That is not always the case! eg a DV camera uses a pixel aspect of about 1.06:1.
That pixel-aspect is a trick to make the screen aspect work:
DV has a vertical resolution of 288. If you take 288*4/3 you get 384 in width. However, it captures at 360. In that case the pictures would have a ratio of 1.25:1 instead of 1.33:1 (4/3).
To compensate for this, it uses rectangular pixels.
Soa PC monitor is 4:3, 1:1.We were all newbies once... and we all needed some help once, so lets once help the newbies.Comment
