convert to 2.40.1 or 2.35.1

[ALAA ELDIN]

i have lg 42la6130 i have a lot of movies 1080 p resolution 1920 * 1080 16: 9 but there are black bear up and down . i want to program convert to 2.40.1 in the same resolution and quality to see movies with out black bars >

I guess the movie is in 2.40:1 and you want it in 16:9 full screen. You must then either zoom/crop the image or stretch the image if you want it in full screen on a 16:9 tv. Both methods destroys the video...

Easiest is to use a zoom mode on your tv.

Or just learn to live with black borders.

Use the zoom function on your tv. All converting will give you is a worse quality picture with missing edges or squished. And it will take you several hours to do it.

Of course not. Unless you have a 2.35:1 TV.

But the you'd complain that your 16:9 movies don't fill the width of the screen. And you'd have gigantic black borders at the left and right with 4:3 material!

How do you put a square peg in a round hole?

Why people insist on 'using the full TV' is still beyond me, but I see/hear it all the time. It's right up there with the super-bright in-your-face in store settings...

Anyway, if you would take the time to actually look at your user manual, you'd find:

• Full Wide: When TV receives the wide screen signal, it will let you adjust
the picture horizontally or vertically, in a linear proportion,to fill the entire
screen fully. 4:3 and 14:9 video is supported in full screen without any video
distortion through DTV input.
✎✎In Analogue/DTV/AV/Scart mode, Full Wide is available.
• 4:3: Resizes images to the previous standard 4:3.
• 14:9: You can view a picture format of 14:9 or a general TV programme in the
14:9 mode. The 14:9 screen is viewed in the same way as in 4:3, but is moved
up or down.
• Zoom: Resizes images to fit the screen width. The top and bottom parts of the
image may be cut off.

Check your remote, there's probably a button that might say something like 'Zoom'... Again, looking at your user manual it's the 'Ratio' button.

You've already been told what to do. You can crop the black bars and reencode (losing a little quality). Your TV will stretch the 2.35:1 video to 1.78:1 (distorting the picture), keep the 2.35:1 picture and add black bars to fill out the 16:9 screen (leaving back where you started), or possibly zoom so that the height of the picture fills the height of the screen but the edges of the picture will be lost. Or you can crop the black bars and the edges of the frame leaving a 16:9 frame and reencode (losing part of the picture and a little quality).

I can't believe we're still hearing this complaint in 2014!. Been hearing it since the '80s/early '90s (though then it was letterboxing of 16:9 material into a 4:3 display).

Just because your TV has those pixels doesn't mean you need to actively use them 24/7. What you see should be as it was intended to be seen.
...unless you have a faulty setup - then I could understand the confusion.

why kidding ? just i talk about 16:9 there are 2.40.1 , 2.35.1 and 1.777.1 and all are 16:9 but there are can shown full screen and others shown with black bars . are you understand now my dear friend

[Cornucopia]

There are more ratios than that (1.85, 14:9, 4:3, etc), but you only have ONE ratio on your display, so it is square-peg/round-hole time and you have to make a choice.
The choice that I prefer, the one that is the most honoring of the creators' artistic intent, is to retain letterboxing/pillarboxing borders (aka "black bars") when there isn't a DAR match.

All of them could be SHOWN as full screen (matching the Display's DAR), but doing so for those other non-matching ratios REQUIRES that something else has to give, either:
1. content is cropped, or
2. content is stretched
THERE IS NO OTHER OPTION, and both of those mar the integrity of the content. Only using "black bars" does not. Best to learn to live with it.

Are YOU understanding now?
