Re: Aspect ratio horrors

Hi Gerard,

I realized after my post that I was wrong about the image from the DVD player being 4:3. Many or most DVDs are "letterbox" format and a larger ratio than 4:3. The effect we noticed in every case, though, with several DVDs, was horizontal stretching of the image when displayed on the 16:9 screen.

Not sure if we tried setting the DVD player to send 16:9, but thought we'd tried everything. Thanks for the suggestion. We'll have another go at it in a day or two and I'll report back.
