16:9 mode is for displaying on a widescreen television which stretches the film horizontally on screen. Some 4:3 (normal) TVs (such as the latest Sony WEGAs) can compress it vertically without loss of resolution.
If you're viewing it "stretched" out on a normal TV everything is distorted. People are taller than they should be, circles would be ovals, squares would be rectangles.
