Hopefully I'm in the right forum ...
On the weekend, I was watching a widescreen DVD on my DVD player, but it kept skipping. Frustrated, I put it in my MacBook, plugged my MacBook into my TV (using the adapter) and figured I'd watch the movie using the MacBook as the DVD player.
I noticed, however, that the black bars on the top and bottom of the movie were almost twice the size on the TV doing it this way.
Why is the ratio of a widescreen movie different on a standalone DVD player connected to my TV than my MacBook connected to the TV.
And, is there anything I can do about it?
