Perhaps it might be a good idea to make the menus and titles widescreen as well? I dunno whether you'd have to release a separate disc to the fullscreen version, or if the DVD player can choose the right menu based on its settings. But I was playing around with Photoshop CS yesterday and I really like the pixel aspect ratio correction - since widescreen DVD is still 720x480/576, just in an anamorphic form, it's great to be able to paint on an ~864x480 canvas visually, but get quality results at 720x480.

I'd imagine it'd be best to run the demos themselves in 4:3. Although there might be enough resolution to get a good quality and use the other part of the screen for other information about the demo, I dunno how well this would work in practice.
