401873	2005-11-04 10:42:00	I Made a DVD of a movie which has an aspect ratio of 16:9. Now when I play it on the computer via VLC media player its all A-OK. I can see the whole film. When I try it on my DVD machine (Dick Smith code G1518) I only see a centred portion of the movie with the rest cut off. E.G I wanted THIS (pages.quicksilver.net.nz) and ended up with something like THIS (pages.quicksilver.net.nz) Would this be a DVD machine issue? Would burning at 4:3 do anything? Edit: Oh almost forgot. The program I used to make it was AVI2DVD if that helps	bob_doe_nz (92)

401876	2005-11-04 20:05:00	Burn it in again in 4:3, it should fit the whole screen . Thats what 16:9 / widescreen does . If u have a dvd movie which is widescreen, you'll see that it maybe similar to the 2nd link you gave . Or if you have Sky, and watch movies the WS u see on the TV (before the movie), means widescreen, which is the same as 16:9 .	Speedy Gonzales (78)
