I have seen this after the title of some movies and can't figure out what it means. I know FS is full screen and WS is wide screen but I can't figure out what P and S means.

Pan & Scan:

A method of printing movies for presentation on television that modifies the rectangular theater image by trimming the sides and focusing on significant action within the newly truncated image.
