I don't have a widescreen, just a standard Mitsubishi 32" 4:3. and I would never get full screen...whats the point? You're missing almost half the movie!

For the best quality mp3s use EAC (exact audio copy) to rip your audio CDs and LAME to encode them. Follow this guide:

Kinza, your TV does not dictate whether it is widescreen or not, that is down to the dvd.

If you choose widescreen your missing half of the top and bottem.
If you buy 42inch widescreen t.v and 42 regular t.v its the same size expect there's more on the top and bottem. People don't get that.

same size, different aspect ratio. "fullscreen" is 4:3, widescreen is 16:9

Some people think something is broken if the whole of their regular TV screen is not filled with a picture. Wide screen gives you the movie as it was meant to be seen.

I prefer widescreen you get the movie as was seen in the theater, if you don't like the black bars you can always use the zoom button on the remote, it then makes it almost fullscreen.

No, if you choose fullscreen you're missing the far left and right portions. Fullscreen is basically a zoomed in widescreen shot.

ok anyways the point is the widescreen is what everyone should get unless they want to cut off the sides of the video.
