Titianic upconverted - Blu-ray Forum

sfmarine · 05-26-2008, 03:17 PM

Alright. I popped in Titanic in my ps3 last night. I figured I'd see how it looked upconverted. For some reason it was treating it as a full screen movie and had black bars on the right and left instead of top and bottom. And to top it off, it stayed at its original 2:35 projection. Usually when I throw in a 2:35...it takes up more screen. 1:85 takes up the whole screen etc. Anyone know why that would be?

I pop in The godfather (1:85) it takes up the whole screen....same with American Gangster. I put in Braveheart(2:35) It plays it correctly. I throw in Titanic....it treats it as though it's a regular tv. Something wrong with the disk itself? I guess I really need to ask Paramount to bring titanic to Blu SOON! Anyone else have this problem?

If you have the first Print, it's a NONE ANAMORPHIC transfert witch cause this. You have to ZOOM In with you're display. 99% of widescreen DVD are anamorphic but some aren't like this one and Abyss...

Yeah, only the special edition release, and then the following 1 disc release were anamorphic. Many of the first dvds were not anamorphic, so on a widescreen display, they will show up with black bars on all 4 sides, or just the top and bottom but look very squished and small. My original copy of The Boondock Saints was like this, and when i watched it recently i was like WTF is going on with the midgets. Then i realized.
