Is 300 full widescreen ? - Blu-ray Forum

bignickdawg · 08-01-2007, 02:19 AM

or does it have the black bars?

kaliraver · 08-01-2007, 02:20 AM

Black bars.

cajmoyper · 08-01-2007, 02:20 AM

I think full widescreen would be as wide as possible, 2.4:1. Which is what 300 is, or 2.35:1.

bignickdawg · 08-01-2007, 02:24 AM

i don't understand the ratios 2.4:1...etc..

It's BS that so many movies have the bars...Its not worth the xtra $$

statikcat · 08-01-2007, 02:25 AM

Diff movies are shot at diff aspects. Your TV is obviously only one size.. so it cant fit them all perfectly.

It has the black bars so you get the same experience you get at the cinema with no picture lost off the sides.

Did you come hear to whine or to learn something.

Give us a chance and we'll explain it to you.

Forresttheman · 08-01-2007, 02:50 AM

there are PLENTY of threds on this topic! The aspect ratio on the film cannot be altered so if a movie is shot in a "black bar" aspect ratio, that is how it will be FOREVER, no matter what format

While watching the film make the OSD appear it will show you the current video/audio formats and bitrates on the upper right.

Using your PS3's remote to change the audio, or pressing the green triangle in the controller and selecting the audio options icon, you can change the audio, and see what it changes to, in the OSD

Thanks Ender, glad to see in this reply and the one above you enjoy filling up whatever void is in your life by bashing unknown people asking for information. Have a great day tomorrow, and please know I put extra effort in capatilizing your "E"

Instead of asking stupid questions that have been discussed to death a thousand times, try using the search button. It makes life much easier for everyone.
