Aspect (Widescreen / Letterbox) Ratio Issue?

[Ed01301]

When I set the aspect ratio to letterbox by clicking Movie, Add new Movie, Widescreen 16:9. The preview shows the movie in widescreen on the PC. However upon playback in my dvd player / recorder it does not show as widescreen. Movies are displayed in ye olde pan and scan! This dvd player / recorder plays back store bought dvd's in letterbox without being set to. It automatically detects letter box and sets it for me.

What happens if you set the Player to Widescreen?

 

Does the DVD play correctly then?

Yeah it does. So it is not auto detecting the resolution. This is the same issue that have read in other posts. I was wondering if however I could just ad the black bars?
