Note

•Some early DVD titles (released from 1997 until early 2000s) use a 4:3 non-anamorphic widescreen aspect ratio. When played on a 16:9 display, the content is shown in a small window with black borders on all four sides. The top and bottom borders are encoded into the video. The left and right borders are added by the player to maintain the correct aspect ratio. For this type of discs the “Full Screen” zoom mode can be used to eliminate the borders.
