Author Topic: Need to 'zoom' a DVD file... John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia. Registered: Dec 1999 posted 10-08-2008 08:56 PM                     I have a DVD trailer that is in its original 1.85:1 ratio but within what looks like a 2.35 frame so it has the large amount of black top and bottom but also 'side masking'. I need to make this image larger to fit our 1.85 screens (in 16x9) to make it look 'more normal'. I know it'll lose res, but I need it bigger anyway. I've tried using Quick Media Converter but have had no luck. Anyone have any ideas? Running Windows, btw. Thanks.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 10-08-2008 09:10 PM                        Oh man that is going to look awful on the big screen. Can you upload the proper VOB file anywhere where I can do it for you on my strange "Mac" system? PM me the link when you get it uploaded.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

What formatt is the trailer in?  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.
