On the other hand, Visual Compression does noticeably distort the image, which can have a rather discombobulating effect on the viewer. For this reason, Visual Compression is almost never used for the entirety of a film, being restricted instead to brief uses such as credit sequences or just to create a weird look and feel (such as a DreamSequence). It does, though, turn up in shorter venues, for example in music videos (Music/{{Soundgarden}}'s "Black Hole Sun" and Paula Abdul's "Promise Of A New Day" spring to mind). Some widescreen TV sets also have the option of stretching non-widescreen material to fit the screen, in case their owners are lucky enough to not be able to notice the distortion. Some channels will pre-stretch older materials as well. For example, some networks that air syndicated reruns of ''Series/{{Friends}}'', will stretch the image to widescreen before broadcast. If you have an older, non-widescreen TV, you'll notice they've hacked off the "F" and "S" in the show's logo during the introduction.
