DVD playback problems.

I was just about to watch Demolition Man on my s300 and the damn movie starts playing automatically with 2 idiots talking in the background. I can't seem to turn the commentary off. What am I doing wrong? How do I turn these idiots off!!!

My version of this movie is the WB cardboard snapper cased one with widescreen on one side and standard on the other side.

Also, why does my s300 play certain widescreen DVD movies with black bars on all four sides and others only have 2 black bars? "Office Space" and "Caddyshack" are a couple that come to mind that do this. Why doesn't it just fill up 2 sides like the rest of my widescreen DVD movies?

Thanks

I presume going into the disc's menu or using the language button didn't work?

No it didn't. There is an option in the dvd menu to turn the commentary off but it doesn't work.

The real horror is the standard side of the disc would play fine, but I refuse to watch it that way.

I feel as lost as John Spartan and the three shells.

Those older versions are non-anamorphic discs. They are not encoded properly for playback on widescreen TVs. You'll have to deal with window-boxing or use a zoom mode. Or upgrade to later versions, both those movies came out with updated discs, I believe.
