Thanks, I’ll try this next time!

I don’t know if you got a chance to check out my other post, but I was also wondering about some DVD stuff.

Thanks again, and this is really helpful.

I might add, I’m just trying to figure out this 16:9 thing in general. My impression is that with films, the DVD player is often having to second-guess the actuall cropping for a particular movie, and sometimes the particular aspect ration doesn’t fit 16:9. It sometimes can add the letterbox bars, or other times, it zooms into the image…

– This applies to two DVDs that I’ve created of the same project. I burned two versions in DVD SP 4.0. One is 16:9 Letterbox, the other is 16:9 Pan-Scan. Would either of these be able to display on the Plasma semi-satisfactorily?

– Is there actually a standard when someone says, “16:9”, and you know that you can encode something at a particular *** x *** size, and know it will display full-screen, and un-cropped?

Sorry for the extremely basic questions…

Thanks for the tip. I may be doing it wrong, but I can’t get it to do what it needs to with the throw behavior. It has to get center frame, from off screen, in about 5-6 frames. I’ve stoked the throw all the way, but it’s like throwing a packing peanut with all your might. It only bumps a couple inches forward in the six frames.

What am I doing wrong?
