My tv is an old Philips Widescreen 100hz , 32PW8506 The only important problem for the moment, is that when I play a dvd, the stretch mode doesn't work. I thought that when choosing the stretch mode, the video would stretch to fill the screen. But it does nothing. I also have tried the other options, but I believe the stretch mode is the only way to get rid of the black bars. When I play the dvd in a normal dvd player, and set my tv to automatic mode, the video will stretch to fill the screen. That is what I would like for Mediaportal to do. My resolution is 800x600 at the moment, and I've set my tv to 16:9 mode and then in Mediaportal I calibrated the screen. I also tried automatic mode and widescreen, but no luck. When playing xvid, the video fills the whole screen, so that's great. Some dvd's fill the whole screen, when I look at the properties in Powerdvd, these dvd's have aspect ratio 4:3. I also tried different video codecs, like ffdshow and set some resize settings, but no effect. My questions are : 1) In which mode must I set my tv in before calibrating the screen ? ( automatic, 16:9, widescreen,.... ) 2) Probably the resolution is the problem, so which resolution should windows be in ? ( 800x600, 1024x768,.... ) 3) I've read about Powerstrip, and I tried powerstrip on my normal pc to try if it makes a difference, i tried 1024x576 and 960x540, but still those black bars and wouldn't stretch when choosing stretch mode, Will this be any different when I try it on my HTPC ? I hope that someone can help me with this. Thanks in advance, Soxbrother [/QUOTE]
