FFdshow and resize

Hi
I've just been playing around with setting ffdshow up using a good guide I found.

However, whereas before Theatertek was showing the DVD taking up the full screen, now it is adding borders to both top/bottom and the sides.

I'm outputting via VGA to a Samsung LE32R41BD. FFdshow menu says that it's resizing to 1440 x 960 but it's certainly not taking up the whole screen.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

You need to calibrate your display with the theatertek aspect ratio editor.

Thanks for the reply.

However, when I right click and go to Aspect Ratio the "edit" option is greyed out. Any ideas why?

Can you comfirm that you are playing a movie while trying to access the AR editor? It will be greyed out if nothing is playing.

I was playing a movie but I've just realised I had it in full screen mode. When I take it out of this it lets me access it.

Thanks
