I use Windows Media to play DVD's on my televsion. When watching the DVD is displays correctly onto the televsion.

However, when I place the movie on the hard drive and watch it directly from the hard drive, the view on my television is incorrect. It seems scruntched up or something. The display settins must be wrong or I'm doing something wrong. It's still watchable but the people in the movie are must skinnier...it gets on your nerves after a while.

Thanks for any help.

for starters you didnt need to get windows media center so you could do that... you can do it with ANY version of windows.

try using a different media player to play the files... VLC media player is good have a google for it

Studio Comp: AMD Athlon XP 3200+ OC ~ 2.35GHz runs at 40 celcius idle and 48 under stress (aerocool GT1000 really works!), Asrock K7VT4A , 1024MB Dual Channel DDR 400, MSI Nvidia FX5200 128MB OC ~ 600MHz mem 350MHz core,80GB SATA + 200GB SATA + 120GB IDE, 7.1 Channel Soundblaster Audigy 2 Platinum EX sound and midi interface. 19" Sony SDM-HS95 TFT monitor - sweeet
Comp2: AMD Sempron 2400+ OC ~ 2.0GHz (Stable), Asrock K7S41GX, 512MB DDR 333, Onboard Graphics, 40GB Maxtor IDE


set of monitors on the way soon :P
Google is your friend...
WorkComp: LAPTOP, intel celeron D 2.4GHz, 256MB DDR, 20GB hd. NO SCREEN IT WAS SAWN OFF :S (bag of crap)

Does VLC media player come with a remote control for the player like Windows MC has? Just say'in...My computer is in a seperate room of the house and the remote is very nice to have when playing music, music video's, Television shows, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.

it doesnt have remote function no. its just a standard media player like windows media player

i know that MCE has problems playing certain types of files so that might be what your experiencing... you could try downloading a codec pack like kl codec to see if that fixes the problem
