When resizing video to fit on the screen PowerDVD opts to letterbox (or pillarbox) content which has the advantage of not chopping any of the source video off. However, older non-anamorphic DVD releases may be designed for viewing on 4:3 sets and have extensive letterboxing in the source video which means that PowerDVD displays that letterboxing and adds its own pillarboxing, resulting in the video appearing in a small window rather than filling the screen (such as the theatrical
Star Wars DVDs):
In these instances an option to preserve the aspect ratio but to crop the image to fit would be great - the image would the stretched to fit the entire width of the screen (in this case) and have the top and bottom cut off, but as that top and bottom only contains black letterboxing nothing of importance is lost.
Would there be any plan to include such a feature in PowerDVD? (Or is it already there and I've missed it?)
