I have never seen information about this in reviews or product details.

It can be 1080p or 1080i. I'd say 99% of titles are 1080p with some exceptions (Short Circuit, South Park Season 12 and some budget titles come to mind). Any major Day and Date will be 1080p. I've never heard of a 720p Blu-ray film (does not mean they don't exist of course).

I believe some porn titles are 720p.

BTW, the FAQ in the first post hasn't been updated in more than 3 years. Could it be a wee bit out of date?

I'm sure you just happened to read that somewhere, right?

Hi guys.

Have a question with how BD-Live works, do the extras you download off it go onto the disc itself or onto the HDD of your player.

I'm a little lost on this so I hope you might be able to help.

The HDD. The discs are not writable.

Having issues!

I have a BDP-S350. I've played many a 4:3 DVD -- not stretched or zoomed in -- but pillarboxed, the way they should be shown.

I put in my WB release of the Chaplin Revue, and the damn thing keeps ZOOMING in. I've fiddled around with ALL my settings and it doesn't seem to change a thing. I've played the same DVD on several DVD players and they all display the image correctly.

Is it possible that the encoding of the disc conflicts with the blu-ray player?

ADDITION: I've now played around with other discs from the WB/Mk2 collection, and they all seem to do the same thing. Hmmm.
