What program you playing the DVD's in?

Play them in Media Player, right click, press full screen.

yep i use media player because its simpler than the other DVD player my comp has (cant think of the name now)

yeha i do that, but it still does not fill the screen. i know some DVDs have the black boarder on the top, because of wide screen, but mine is wide screen so it shouldnt suffer from this much. but also there is about 3 inchs horizontal on each side of black boarder which is the problem (as well as the borader on the top)

does that make more sence?

Yarp a little, have you fiddled around with your monitor properties?

What system are you running?

Doesnt WMP optimise, so it wont go so big that it pixilates

Thats what i thought, but, its a DVD, it shouldnt be that bad...

some films are extra widescreen* so you will still get the black boarders top and bottom. It will do the same on your TV as well if you have a widescreen TV.

*This is my technical term

yep, its all been set up fine, right resolution, all drivers installed. ive got a dell dimention 5150 standard spec apart from ive now got 3Gb RAM. 2Ghz Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950, 128MB PCI Express x16

no i dont use this as my tv, just for streaming off the internet http://www.cucirca.com/2007/01/30/lo...-pilot-part-2/ like if it watch this, the second one, the screen fills.

i just checked somthing else, if i play music in MWP and go to graphic view on the now playing option, click full screen it completly fills the screen.
