iPod Widscreen on the iPod

[eoguy]

I've been trying to figure out how to change the full screen option on the video iPod to widescreen. I know how to transfer a DVD into the iPod using the tutorial that was posted on the main page: http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/guides.html

The DVD I'm trying to view on the iPod is is widescreen, but for some reason, even if the "widescreen" option is turned on in the iPod, it still doens't work that way. It seems to smash the movie just a little.

If anyone has figured out, or knows how to make it work properly, or know the correct resolutions or something, please let me know. Thanks!

If the widescreen option is on, it will display the movie in it's correct ratio with black bars at top and bottom. When you turn it off, the iPod will select the middle portion of the video and expand it to fit the screen - it will look funny and thus it is best to keep widescreen on to view movies.

It didn't work that way though, and whether widescreen is on or off it still looks like a 16:9 movie incorrectly displayed on a 4:3 screen. Was this a problem during the DVD ripping process?

Must have been, I can't help you with that though.

Are you both using that Videora program? Cause I use Handbrake, as does the Apple Centre near me and their ripped movies work in widescreen just fine.

I'd use Handbrake, but apparently it's only for Macs. I've searched the net for the solution to this problem, but few people seem to have addressed it, which I find amusing because it reveals how many fools watch DVDs on their 4:3 TV with the incorrect settings.

The Lost eps are in 4:3.
