Video display only @ 720p

[bsrega]

I connected a dvd-player @usb on my A210, but on my hd-tv the picture is not shown @ fullscreen, only in a small window. Is it possible to have the movies be shown in fullscreen?

Normally yes. Did you try different resolutions/aspect ratios using the remote control "Zoom" button?
It's located bottom right on the rc, press during playback: http://www.networkedmediatank.com/wiki/i...#Section_F

Thanks for your replay. Zooming does't work, cause it leaves the window (which is what I want to have fullscreen) a the same size..

[dc11ab]

I'm not asking you to zoom the picture, I'm suggesting you change the scaling ratio from "Actual size" to "Fit to screen" or possibly "Full screen".

The only options i get are 'zoom' & 'pan', that's it. No scaling option here..

Ah, sorry, after re-reading your post I see you are referring to DVD media, which does not have the same aspect ratio changes (it uses another player, AFAIK), as opposed to other media (in various containers such as mkv, mp4 and whathaveyou!).

Have you authored the DVD's yourself? Does this symptom appear on all your DVD media, regardless if it's commercial/retail DVD?
Have you tried playing them using llink (lundman.net or available via the CSI; nmtinstaller.com) with a different result?

Hi dc11ab

this occures on any dvd & I've installed llink with the same result.
I think I get a dvd-player separately, but thanks for yout time!

If your DVD is non-anamorphic letterboxed then you can get this happening. With nothing playing press Setup on the remote and scroll down to Audio/Video. Then set the Video Zoom option to 'Crop'.

This will forced 4:3 content (which is what a non-anamorphic letterboxed DVD is) to be zoomed to fill the width of a 16:9 display.

16:9 content won't be affected so you can leave it in this mode.

If you want to watch genuine 4:3 content and don't want the top and bottom of the screen being chopped off then change it to 'Fit to Screen'.

These should be the only two zoom options you ever need.

I don't have a Video Zoom option 'Crop', just percentages.

That sounds like you are pressing the zoom button. Don't!

Stop the video completely so it's at the Popcorn Hour file index screen and then press Setup on your remote to get into the settings screen. If you don't get into this screen then you haven't completely stopped what you were playing.

Press the down arrow to get to the Audio/Video menu.
The second or third item on this menu is called Video Zoom. Change it to 'Crop'. Then scroll to the bottom and click save.
Press the return key on the remote to get back to where you were.

Now try a DVD again.

'crop' didn't do it, but 'fullscreen' worked, thanks!!
