Blu-ray movies on Playstation 3?
I've been trying out blu-ray movies on my ps3... I am legend, 300, lord of war... all recent movies, but the only format they play in is widescreen. I have a widescreen high-def tv, but I still get the bars on the top and bottom. My tv has zoom and wide zoom, but wide zoom distorts the picture and zoom cuts off the sides. I've also tried to adjust my ps3 but nothing changes. What's up with this? Is this what we can expect? what's the point of having a widescreen tv set?
The movies you mention were all filmed in an aspect ratio of 2.35:1, also known as Cinemascope format.
This means they're actually "wider" than a widescreen TV, so you still get small black bars even on a widescreen display. This presentation is perfectly normal, and is what movie enthusiasts prefer. The only alternative would be to chop off the sides of the picture.
If you were to watch a movie filmed in 1.78:1 or 1.85:1 (which many movies are), then that would fill your screen exactly.
Look up "aspect ratio" on Wikipedia for further details.
