The disc is from the Warner Bros. Chaplin set released a few years ago, this title from which I just bought. I am trying to play the re-issue version that contains Chaplin's narration. Seems like a nice transfer, except...
I cannot get it to play in the 1.33:1 ratio. What I get is a stretched (and cropped) 1.78:1 image which of course is wrong to begin with, and which crops the image and compromises the detail.
I have tried re-setting everything on both my 46" monitor and my player and nothing will allow me to play this back in its intended ratio. Other 1.33:1 DVD's work fine.
Is this just me, or the DVD encoding, or what? I won't purchase other titles in this set until I find out what is going on here.
Thanks.
