Playing videos fullscreen

[SavageR]

The image at the top of this page shows the whole screen taken up with what I assume is a video (I suppose it could be a picture but lets just assume it's a video). I on the other hand cannot make a video fill the entire screen, I am left with black bars at the top and bottom. Am I doing something wrong or is this simply not possible?

It depends on the screen size. Wide screen videos will leave a blank space at the top and bottom.

4:3 will be full screen
16:9 will be wide screen

Hope this helps.

Well you learn something every day

Heres me trying to get a full screen when the film is filmed in widescreen.

I'll get my coat.

Hi
I use DVDfab 4 to encode dvd to mobile apart from current version having a n95 profile preloaded it also as a crop faeture which will automatically `crop`black frames top and bottom or custom crop to suit.The eventual video(if original was 16:9 or letterbox)will appear `squeezed`when played at full screen on N95 but you will get a full image.Its worth giving the free trial a try - I now use it for all dvd decryption \ encoding needs.It will also split into chapters if prefer
