: That's the nature of the beast I am afraid. Most videophiles who collect or rent DVD's want the theatrical aspect ratio. All is not lost though...does your DVD player set up menu not have a 4:3 display option?

Nigel, why do you ask? I have tried setting up the DVD for 16:9 (my TV is a Sony 40" RPTV and cannot handle 16:9) and the faces elongate. Are there any other tricks?
