Getting DVD's to play in Full Screen from FR

[TK007b]

Hi All,

Am I missing something ?

I can watch a film from front row, uing Leopard, no problem. HOwever, I cannot fine the settings to adjust the output aspect ratio and therefore always watch it in 16:9 which means I have fat borders above and below the film when I watch. This is compared to full control from my standard DVD player.

Thanks

TK

the video might be longer than 16:9. I have a 16:9 screen and many dvds I pick up have black bars.

Thnks but that's not exactly what I mean.

If I play it from my doovde player then it plays full screen

If I play it from my laptop using powerDVD I can select which aspect ratio I want to use

Problem is sometimes I get HUGE bars and just want to chane the ratio as it'snot always that important to me.

Thanks

TK

PS - Sorry, trying to not make PC comparisons but as I am new to MAC's it's still difficult.

First, it's Macs not MACS.

Maybe theres something in the settings you can try? The first screen, then the last option.

Playing it in Quicktime you should be able to go full screen

Playing from quicktime, cool ... ok..

Have got VLC as well but want to do it from the Front Row menu

Front row seems to default to Apples basic DVD player, I know ifI change the settin in system preferences I can change it but that doesn't alter what fronrow does .. I think ?

Thank you.
