If the screen is not very large you might prefer to see DVDs in 4:3 format and this is an option on most DVD players...John,
You're referring to scaling I believe (some call it zoom which is probably just as accurate) and I don't think it's on that many DVD players. My Panasonic has it, but not my Sony. I do normally do the same thing as you, if it's a 4:3, I zoom to fill the sides and lose the top and bottom (some, not much). One movie in particular is Eyes Wide Shut.
Even though my Sony doesn't scale/zoom, my Pioneer RPTV can, though the quality was in fact quite a bit compromised compared to doing the same thing on the Panasonic player.
