Re: Fullscreen DVDs suddenly playing in widescreen

Re: Fullscreen DVDs suddenly playing in widescreen

I wondered the same thing, skywalker8. Maybe something in the encoding they used for that conversion is causing this problem now all these years later. I did read (long after I bought the sets, of...

Re: Fullscreen DVDs suddenly playing in widescreen

Thanks, thetao. I went and read that review. Yep, it's the same problem, though it sounds like the discs always played incorrectly for that guy. I saw that he posted in 2014. My guess is he had new...

Re: Fullscreen DVDs suddenly playing in widescreen

Hey thetao, thanks for the reply--it does help, quite a bit! The list of sites to find cases is especially useful.
