I have a lot of movies on hard drive (full quality vob's). On some movies, when I play them, I get kinda like 2 sets of black bars. Sometimes the picture is smaller, but still in proportion. Instead of just having black bars on the top and bottom it seems like I have another set of black...

So, what will we have next? HD-DVD or Blu-Ray? Does it matter? Will either of them take off..even if they were just one format? Its been my experience that people are happy with what they have as long as it works. I say that even if Sony/others work out thier differences and come to one...
