May I know how to fit the video source to my 16:9 screen?
I also dunno why the video source i downloaded was some weird resolution (like 1920x800, etc) instead of 1920 x 1080 even though they mentioned 1080p.

I used my fren's media player to play, it was full screen, but not in HDPro.

harrychoo,
- 1080p actually is counting the WIDTH 1920 pixels rather 1080 pixels HEIGHT.
same with 720p, it actually refers to WIDTH 1280px, rather than 720px HEIGHT.
The reason is simply becos films are shot and released in different widescreen formats. Philips has this crazy 21:9 screen, think it's called 'true-cinema' or something smile.gif

- your fren got fullscreen - maybe he zoomed more, or he stretch to full screen without "maintaining" aspect ratio

Bro as far as I know, 1080p is the height.

When advertise as 1920x800 that means, the with is at 1920 horizontal and the 800p vertical is due to the ripper took out the rest of the black bars above and below, so you get a smaller file to download.  You don't need those black bars anyway do you?

well.. the zoom made those black bars disappears sometimes. the toggle 4:3 and 16:9 can remove the left and right bars... it make you video fat though sometimes

well yeah, u're right smile.gif harry's asking about his weird 1920x800 resolution... less confusing if u forget about the height being 1080px tongue.gif

harry, 1920x800 = 21:9 true-cinema ratio, go buy this then u can get full screen smile.gif

very funny ler. tested my fren's HDpro last week. no shock.

today started testing with my brand new set, no shock.
after an hour or so, i held it to pull out my thumbdrive and felt a slight tingle. hmm maybe i should touch some metal and remove static from my hands first.

hi. quick question...

when FF or Rewinding, i see the time/duration bar. once i press play, the bar doesn't disappear till i press Guide, but i hav to re-play the movie.

and after that, sometimes the time/duration bar doesn't appear when i FF or Rewind, which is kind of important.

anyone hav this problem too, or am i overlooking a simple solution? tongue.gif

hmm Yangxi, wonder if can suggest a new feature for remote control, but i doubt can flash firmware for remote tongue.gif :

One of my dvd players remote has a useful button called Quick Review, which basically rewinded and playback 5 secs before.
Just nice if you missed some line or some quick action biggrin.gif very responsive, if u press 3x, it would go back 15 secs, very minimal lag.
One of the most used buttons, for myself at least laugh.gif

But since then, i notice not many players have that. Again, just a suggestion, dunno if do-able smile.gif
yes, i could just press Rewind, wait, then press Play, but that's a lot of extra clicking over a few years xD

it plays fine on PC, and also on my TV built-in media player.
upgraded firmware from March 2010 to Apr 2010, same result.

can test by downloading this MP4 (can use this) -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQ7R_buZPSo&fmt=22 .... can see the problems from 1:10 onwards unsure.gif

anyone else having this problem?
