Purple Storm HKL Question
I recently bought this title from bensons world and have a question about it. It states its a anamorphic 16:9 enhanced dvd but on my apex player it is showing up as fullscreen, any idea why?
thanks
P.S. I also noticed a high rate of pixalization/artifacting on this dvd as well as some other pal titles, is this due to the pal>ntsc conversion? If so would getting a Malata solve these problems?

All PAL anamorphic dvds will be stretched out on your Apex and other players like it such as Sampo and Daewoo. Yes, a Malata or some JVC's and the X-box(Not region free though) would fix the problem. I have the title and don't get any artifacting, so maybe that's from your player too.

I only have an X-Box and both Purple Storm and Drive look beautiful on my T.V. Although I did notice some weird frame skipping in Drive (barely noticable), which I think may be because PAL DVDs run at 25 fps instead of 24 fps. Or am I wrong?
BTW Drive is a great movie. Lots of fun.
