Having ripped a movie to .ISO with dvdshrink I noticed it was quite different in size from the actual dvd itself. The dvd played through a Philips dvd player had the usual black bands on the top and bottom, though not that bad. Once ripped to iso and played back via WD Streamer the movie had much wider bands at the top and bottom and appeared as a very narrow rather unwatchable strip in the middle. The box states it is anamorphic widescreen 2.35:1 … Why is this and is this correctable ?
Thank you for your responses. I looked through the settings and found it set to normal. I believe that was the default setting. I changed it to widescreen and the iso’s look much better. And fill in more of the screen, albeit still with the black bands top and bottom.
