he he , yeah pretty busy , triple thanx paddy , you are a very kind and good person , please forgive all the questioning its just that some of us go step by step , i think ill buy a 512 mb 7800gtx as soon as one is available with a distributor i know , hey paddy and all you guys , how do i get to see 16:9 ws movies without blackbars? , is there a software that can pan &scan the dvds? cause i think we are getting 2 inches wide black bars above and below and thats way too much to loose , just wondering if theres a dvd player that can do that , (winddvd doesnt .i think ) any ideas ?
If you're talking software DVD player, then PowerDVD does that. It offers a variety of resizing options. Download the shareware and give it a try. I don't use them much since the bars don't bother me and I don't want to lose the edges. I only use those fetures in shows that have off formatting. House MD comes to mind, for some reason they put it on the DVD in a 4:3 box with tthe normal widescreen in the middle. so it has black bars even in window mode.
