What video format would you use when it just say's aspect 16:9....?
(UPC 9397810093393 is already in the database if you need to see a example cover)
Would it be widescreen, 16x9 enhanced and what ratio?

Since it is a Television series I would think it's full frame, 16x 9 enhanced.

Not full frame!

from the contribution rules:

Full Frame Films that were filmed at 1.33:1 or Academy Ratio and presented as such.
Films presented in Open Matte and TV series, unless otherwise noted.
Computer generated animation re-rendered to 1.33:1 (even if the original theatrical release was widescreen).

Widescreen Films that are presented in ratio wider than 1.33:1.

Information on the cover regarding screen ratios is notoriously unreliable. The best course of action is to put the disc in your DVD drive and check the actual ratio yourself using a programme like PowerDVD. If you're unsure, make a screen cap and then measure the horizontal and vertical dimensions.

16:9 aspect ratio works out to 1.78:1.  I am not saying that this show is that ratio as I haven't seen it but if it does fill a 16x9 screen, that should be correct.
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.

How does that work?
