2 tera HDD? Not enough la bro.

that's what we call aspect ratio (AR)..
different movie, different AR..

16:9 is the standard for HDTV (without black bar)

and yet most of the bluray and mkv (which is also compressed from bluray) are in 1.85:1 and 2.39:1 format which will have the black bar on the top and bottom because the video is wider than 16:9

so a larger screen is better at displaying it because you don't have to zoom.

that's normal dude..nothing you can do..

if you don't want black bar, home theater projector is the way to go..
the black bar on the top and bottom is less noticeable

There's that TV with insane wideness if you're serious
Philips I think.

Funny, it never did pickup.....

right, 21:9 aspect ratio TV

for one, it's rm20K
secondly, most of the material you have will be 1.85:1 or narrower which means 90% of the time you'll have pillar boxes.

I don't think Philips expected to sell a lot of these; it was just a matter of saying "there, we can do it"

MKV is the best. There are alot of sites. Just try googling it.

well we can zoom it. that will remove the black bar at the expense of cropping the left and right picture.
think i'll go with a larger screen rather than projector at the living room.

cropping is a BIG no no to me..

btw, it's your choice to crop..

me also regret put only 1tb hdisk in my pohd...not enough space

If 2TB not enough, then you should consider to get NAS with 8-10TB.
Save space and power plug point.

still not enough for me

Build a NAS runs on the Unraid Server then, if you're interested, we can buy the 2 pack license for a cheaper price :-)

no thanks.
my htpc can plug in 13 HDD. still have slot for 3 more hdd. beats the speed of any NAS anyday and i don't have to worry about bottleneck from the network.

13 HDD? So your HTPC casing is very very big.

not really. just as big as my avr

13tb...so many movies

Mind to share what casing is that :-)

there's not a single 1tb hdd in my htpc. believe me i have more than 13tb
