Yeah, dead sides on discovision are known.
Blam1 has a website about them and I know there is at least 1 topic with them being mentioned here, I started one at one time I think or just added to one.
Its been years, I found a bunch of Discovisions, you can even sometimes clean the dead sides if they don't play.
New hobby for you now.

Dead sides are only interesting on DiscoVision titles. I always clean and check the dead sides on DisoVision titles. But they are hard to get in Europe.

Easy.

If you first search for " discovision blank side " on the forum, you will quickly find:

Typing “blank sides” into the search reveals these other threads.

Contributing to previously existing threads keeps the information more central and less redundant.

Just watched the CAV Discovision Jaws 2 (1978) [12-010] .

Video is squeezed. When adjusting picture to 16x9, picture seems almost normal.

How sure are you? :?
As zeta said, I think others mentioned something about this.
I think I mentioned in the past that the P/S version of Star Trek the Motion Picture is a little squeezed, but not fully and its cropped on the
sides.

So its like a partial 1.65 image squeezed to 1.33 from a 2.35 original image.
These aren't really squeezed but more smooched?
Even Black Hole has something similar.
