Abstract: Many stories of the development of some of the various film formats have acquired the status of “legend,” which consists of a mixture of truth and fantasy. The development of some of the most famous film formats actually came about as a result of developments in other fields or in adaptations of other ideas. This paper presents an overview of how this evolution took place for several formats and clarifies several missing pieces of the lost history of film formats.
