I have a question about the framing of the dvds in general, but this just came up when I was watching volume 57. I'm at home watching it on our family tv and it is an old school 4x3. I realize most people probably are using LED HD 16x9's now, but this is what I have so...
I pop the disc in and I notice right away that the picture is cropped on the sides. The menus cut off part of the picture on the left and right. For reference, when the big "Shimmer" logo comes in at the start, you can see the edge of the screen cuts the left lower tip of the "S" for instance. The menus clip the sides of the wrestler graphics and the video is cut on the sides too.
My DVD player is a sony (rdr-vx555) and I tried changing the video ratio from 4x3 "letter box" to 4x3 "pan & scan" but to no avail.
The only way for me to get around this on the 57 disc was to use my Laptop to play the disc and use my trusty tv adapter which has its own built in tool for managing the horizontal and vertical width of the screen output. The picture on the stand-alone player is slightly brighter and sharper though, so it's a pity not to use it.
Anybody else with a standard screen notice any issues?
I'm going to take a wild guess and assume the same issues will crop up with 58 and 59 as well since they are from the same "run." But I will see for sure when I get to them after finishing watching 57.
