Hi All I asked this before but got no reply , i just want to know why i get the black lines at the top and bottom on the screen when i play a blu ray or dvd film in 16:9 as my Dell Laptop is a 1920x1080 16:9 screen ? any ideas thanks :confused:
 
Because the movie wasn't made in 16:9?

If the picture fits the width of the screen and it isn't squashed then it's just the wrong shape..
 
Because movies aren't recorded in 16:9 ratio, hence the black borders.
Some do produce their films on disc to the 16:9 ratio, but a lot don't. Some TVs can zoom to change the aspect ratio but the image then looks squashed, just like some playback software too.

What player do you use?
Is it just those two films?
Change the AR to all the other choices first of all, see if any of them do it.
