im a bit of a newbie to this so please excusee my ignorance. im trying to rip some of my dvds onto my hard drive using xillsoft dvd ripper. the only problem is when i try and play the dvd through media player it seems to have a 4:3 aspect ratio and i want it to be widescreen. is there any way for me to rip the dvd so it will play back in widescreen?
thank you
I have some videos on my computer that I have downloaded and stuff, there all different kinds that I have avi, wmv, .... so forth. Almost all of them are 16:9 is there a program that u can use to make them 4:3 for a regular tv so I can burn it to a dvd as a 4:3?
If the source is 16:9 and the TV is 4:3 then they should be put in letterbox on the screen.
Unless it's in a letterbox, the image will look 'zoomed in' and parts are lost or the picture is distorted.
Run ImgBurn Click 'Mode' > 'Build'
Click 'Output' > 'Device'
Click 'File' > 'Browse for Folder', highlight on the 'VIDEO_TS' folder, > 'OK'
Set burning speed to 4x and click the green write button.
.
both the source and the TV are 16:9. Its only WMP that puts the
black bars in (this is my preferred method of watching) if i watch using media centre or any other media player i have its fine, its only doing it in WMP.
I have tried adjusting the settings in WMP but they have no effect.
Im only having the problem with dvds i have ripped. any torrents i download are absolutely fine and fill the whole screen i just cant understand why its doing it with the files i have ripped myself.
