360 question (Movie viewing)

**Kane Knight** · 06-26-2007, 01:23 AM

Is there a setting specifically for watching movies? I ask because I decided to check out th e upscaling on the 360 today, so I popped a DVD in, and it like, letterboxing within letterboxing. I had black bars on the side as one might expect from a "Standard" picture on an HD TV, and then within that, the widescreen movie was presented as though it were letterboxed on said "Standard" TV.

This normal?

This normal? �There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old�s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.� --John Rogers
