And if the television doesn't have such a feature, there is a good chance that the DVD player itself will have it.</p> <p>In Solidarity,</p> <p>Alain</p> <p><a href="http://www.crazyredacesproductions.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">www.crazyredacesproductions.blogspot.com</a></p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/absolute-beginner#post-34192 Tue, 18 Dec 2007 16:20:53 +0000 Van-isle 34192@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Next summer I wiil be going with a large group on a long distance trip. I plan to buy a videocam and make a video of the trip that can be downloaded onto DVD disks. Each member of the trip will get a disk. Since I do not know what type of TV or display they have at home, can one version of the disk play properly on both 16:9 and 4:3 displays? Will an old style 4:3 display play 16:9 format as a letterbox or will it 'squish' it down? Conversely, will a 16:9 display show a 4:3 format correctly? </p>
