In Reply to: DVD Format Questions - 16:9 Layouts ?................. posted by Cut-Throat on December 17, 2004 at 15:08:07:
Yeah it's a shame that most DVD's are just labelled 'widescreen' instead of the actual format (16:9, 2.35:1 etc) because when you first get your big screen and watch something like Pirates of The Caribbean you go nuts assuming widescreen means 16:9 and yet the picture you are seeing does NOT fit on the screen so off you go twiddling controls....Yes this happened to me. And of course my first 2.35:1 experience came when I invited everyone over to see my new HT. Happily I came across a control that allows me to force 16:9 by basically enlarging the 2.35:1 and cropping the edges. You don't lose much picture and instead fill the screen, another option to consider if black bars are annoying.
