    Hey, I'm not getting very far with trying to troll around forums trying to solve my problem and it seems so basic so I'm asking. I use Mac The Ripper to rip movies, and I downloaded a 4.3 G movie in all it's .VOB files glory, but I can't figure out how to make the dimensions fit to my tv screen, so when I play it in my dvd player, I only see a section of the film in the middle of the shot, everything a little closer up. Opening the same movie in VLC...it's a widescreen view with the black bars mostly chopped off.

    What is my problem, can Toast (7.1/Titanium) fix it, and how??? I looked in the stickied forum, but everything seems to be about more complex problems and compression. Thanks in advance.

    Just to clarify, you want to zoom in to remove the black bars and cut off the sides of the image ?

    Simplest solution - use the zoom on your DVD player.

    DVD players have an aspect ratio setup to address this. The setup will cause the player to output 16:9 video on a 4:3 TV either as pan & scan (full screen picture with sides cropped off) or as letterbox (black bars top and bottom). It sounds to me that your player is set to pan & scan. So change its setting.
