All players will (normally) assume that the aspect ratio of the movie is correct. Unfortunately, I don't think that a solution exists without re-encoding. So, the movie was originally shot in 4:3 without black borders, and the MP2 stream of your DVD is in 4:3 but with the black borders and the image compressed vertically. In that case, it is not possible to remove the black borders without re-encoding, and anyway, you should NEVER do that! (Except perhaps if you want to play that movie on an old 4:3 TV.) Who wants to see the world completely distorted ? You can forget the black borders, but it is impossible to like to see a beautiful girl horribly distorted and fat ! The third case is what DB83 suggests: a 4:3 movie has been broadcast in 16:9 with the necessary black borders to avoid the distortion. You should simply change the video format from 4:3 to 16:9 Automatic Letterbox. It it's that case, it is very simple to fix the problem, again by editing the Domain Stream Attributes of the main movie. On the other hand, if the movie has simply been broadcast in 16:9 and recorded in 4:3, when it is played on a 16:9 TV, there are vertical black borders visible on the side of the image when playing it, and the picture looks distorted. Just tick the "Source picture letterboxed" checkbox, and save the DVD. Open the DVD in PgcEdit, right-click the main movie in the left pane, and select "Domain Streams Attributes". You don't need to re-encode it, but you are lucky if that simple edit solves the problem. Unfortunately, most TVs ignore that flag, but it is a good idea to set it anyway. If it's the case, there is a flag in the IFO to tell the TV to automatically zoom in. The TV must zoom in the image to remove the borders, but it doesn't need to distort it. The movie looks very small in the center of the screen. The result is that, when played "normally" on a 16:9 TV, there are 4 black borders, all around the original picture. Not sure, but perhaps Halfshadow has a 16:9 movie originally recorded in a 4:3 image. What and where are the "boring black borders" ? Are they horizontal bars on top and bottom of the movie, or vertical bars on the sizes, or even a black border all around the picture ? Also, how the TV plays it currently ? As a 4:4 or as a 16:9 DVD ? And finally, is the image distorted ? Unfortunately, Halfshadow has not provided enough information to understand clearly the problem. ![]()
