dvd playback in WMP11.

bretttp1

Ok I relise that there has to be a simple answer to this question, but for the life of me I can't find how to get WMP11 to play dvds that fill the screen !! I can do it fine in nero and all other players but not in WMP11

I've tried searching for ascpect ratio settings etc on the web but can't get any answer.

Can anyone point me to the area in WMP11 where I can alter these settings

Thanks a heap !

Windows media player is pritty useless at DVD playback, do you need to use it? Usually right clicking the movie and clicking full screen works, if no dvd plays at all you have no dvd decoder in the system... VLC players a decent enough DVD player that works straight forward, and its free

Thanks Yoyo, but I've tried that and the short cut to get the full screen mode but even then the dvd only fills a small proportion at the centre of the screen surrounded by the black bars that usualy only appear at the top and bottom on any other player.

I don't have to use WMP11 for playback its just annoying is all

You have to right click the dvd playing, click video size menu and "Stretch to screen", WMP has a habbit of playing dvds back at native res and not streatching em, if that is ticked you'll need to untick it and then tick it again for it to stretch, tedious i know but I think its a bug, even seen the issiue on vistas media player its prob version 11 aswell

I don't get that option when the dvd is playing or paused, I'll do a screen capture later and post up what options I'm given.

Any other suggestions
