Noob question re: picture in picture. - Blu-ray Forum

13fingerfx · 05-22-2009, 08:04 PM

Had a PS3 for a while, just got my first blu ray movie the other day: Zack Snyder's Dawn of the Dead.

My question is this, is it possible to watch the extras displayed as picture in picture full screen? I've seen the movie, and when I want to watch it again, I'll do that, but now I want to watch the mini documentaries about the FX etc, but the only option seems to be having them in a small box in the corner of my screen while the movies plays quietly in the background. Which seems gimmicky and dumb.

If there's a way around it I'd love to know it.

Thanks in advance.

No way around it. Its a picture-in-picture extra and the video in the small box is designed to be viewed that way.

If you really hate it, just get the DVD. All the stuff from the PiP track and more is available as seperate extras from the film.

Thanks for the reply. I actually have the DVD, but had never got round to watching the extras. The Blu Ray was meant to replace it. Gah. Now it's just an extra disk.
