I dunno about stretching the video (I don't even have ITunes installed), if it's a regular MP4, renamed to M4V like Apple likes to do, then it's possible to stretch it in MPC-HC and other players, and you can adjust the AR with MP4Box; if it's copyprotected then I really don't know what you can do.
Anyway it seems that they uploaded a video with the wrong AR, it won't be stretched (it'd be ugly if it wasn't the case) in the DVD/BD.
Anyway I'm interested in the BD since it's quite cheap from Amazon preorder (and I have a 15$ discount that Amazon gave me for the delay with FLCL's novels that haven't showed up after two months), does anyone know if it'll be region free or region A/B like other Funi's release (it seems that at least Eva 1.11 was region A/B from what I've heard)? It wouldn't be funny if I can't play the disc with my PS3.
I don't really care about the quality of the upscale, I already have the WORST release ever made (it's a terrible mess of blended fields, a terrible NTSC>PAL conversion and one of the reason that I don't purchase PAL DVDs any more), it'd always be an improvement.
So let’s make a wish.

Specifically because
1) MPEG-2 doesn't deal well with animation; Blu-Ray uses H.264 which is far, far better.
2) High-bitrate MPEG-2 was often eschewed in favor of packing more episodes onto each disc.
3) Many digitally produced shows were delivered to R1 licensors on high-end videotape formats, meaning that there was some inherent tape noise when they were re-compressed. That's still happening today, if my Sentai copy of He is My Master is any indicator.
Although the original R1 FLCL release was 2 episodes per disc, so bitrate wasn't an issue.
