You need a fast computer, graphics card, DVD, etc. See the following thread. http://www.hdtvoice.com/voice/showt...ghlight=extreme __________________ 57U - Toronto, Rogers Cable, SA8300HD, 500GB HDD & Hitachi 61UWX10B HDTV, Yamaha RX-V1 A/V Receiver, Martin Logan Speakers.

Playback via both the included InterActual Player and WMP interface both yielded choppy playback. I even copied the .wmv files onto my hard drive, but that did not improve playback. Guess I'll have to wait till I upgrade my processor. That's not happening anytime soon. __________________ LP's Home Theatre Gear: InFocus SP4805 \| Onkyo TX-SR800 \| Zektor HDS4 (x2) \| Sony DVP-CX985V (x5) \| Microsoft XBOX 360 \| Motorola DCT6412 \| Samsung SIR-TS160 \| Polk XRt12 \| IR543 \| USB-UIRT \| Philips RFX9400 Extender \| Monster PowerCenter HTS2500 (x2) \| Philips Pronto Professional TSU9600 My DVD Collection

I personally dont have that fast of a computer at home and I don't mess with it much at home since I have to be on the computer all day at work. __________________ Mits. ws-55859 Sony STR-DA777ES Receiver M&K 750 THX System Denon 2800MKII xbox Tributaries Video cables Kimber Cable Audio cables & Speaker wire

mikehbkwm HBK Join Date: Aug 2002 Location: Good Ol' OK Posts: 1,893	its in a 2.35:1 and no it will not fill the screen youll have black bars on top and bottom...... keep in mind its the directors choice on whether he films the movie in whatever format he chooses and i have noticed more and more movies are in a 2.35:1 format... but there are still alot that are 1.85:1 or 1.78:1 that fill the screen............ __________________ "I'd pay REAL money if he'd shut up"

Christ you watch silly comedies like "Just Married" and they fill the screen, then when you watch a classic like "The Matrix" or "T2", movies you want to see as big and beautiful as possible and you get the stinking Black bars! Why the hell are our 16:9 HDTV's the size and shape they are if the majority of the movies don't fill the screen? Why weren't they just made 1.85:1?? __________________ Hitachi 51UWX20B Samsung P231 DVD Magnavox HI-FI VCR Denon AVR-2802 6 Luxman M-120A Amps Front Speakers: Altec Lansing Model 15's Front Center: HTD Level 3's Rear Speakers: Cerwin Vega 1215MKII's (15" floor loaded woofers used as LFE Subs) Rear Center: HTD Level 3's

mikehbkwm HBK Join Date: Aug 2002 Location: Good Ol' OK Posts: 1,893	Dude chill man. again its up to the director who films the movie what format its going to be in. i mean look at it this way, hollywood could release T2, The Matrix on DVD in a 1.85:1 format to fill the screen buttttttttttttttt they would be cutting off the edges of the movie so the aspect would look correct. I really dont have a problem with it having black bars on the top and bottom and to be totally honest with you I kinda dont like it when Im watching a movie now and its not filmed in a 2.35:1 format. The way I look at it is Im getting more of the picture........ __________________ "I'd pay REAL money if he'd shut up"

This is disturbing if the trend is ot move to 2.35:1... Everyone says 16:9 is the future so what if SD looks like crap and u have to expand it from 4:3, don't use black bars or it will burn-in the TV... now the DVD's have black bars to kill the TV... they tell you not to have bars for more than 15% of TV use... so now we cant watch regular TV, cant watch DVD's...
