    Re: The "Incorrect Aspect Ratio" Thread

    I'm glad I found this thread, because I had issues with Batman Begins and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part Two being improperly 'zoomed in'. But I'm also disappointed to see that it's apparently been several months without a fix on these and/or other movies.

    Where is Vudu's quality control with this stuff? Something this egregious makes it seem like this service is somewhat slapped-together and that no one cares about this.

    As I've said about Vudu before when I was complaining about serious connection / service / navigation issues on the XB1 app, I love this service /when it works/. This service has amazing potential. But they need to clean this up!

    Firecreek starts out 2.35:1 (the correct OAR). After the credits it switches to 1.85:1.

    Please add "Paint Your Wagon" to the list.

    It's 2.35 to 1 and showing in HDX as a standard definition 1.33 to 1 transfer.

    Rope is actually presented correctly. The reason you are seeing it with 4 borders is because the 4:3 picture, which is the ratio the film was composed for, is presented letterboxed in 16:9 so that it is presented correctly on a modern TV. The iPad's aspect ratio is not 16:9, thus the picture looks wonky for you. Using the iPad's zoom feature (double tapping the screen) may be able to fill up the screen without losing any of the 4:3 picture, so I would try that out.

    Good to see at least a little ground is being made on getting some of the incorrect ones corrected.

    I tried it on my iPad, and I get the same problem. It's windowboxed with black bars on all 4 sides.

    It looks fine on my TV. It's 1.33:1 in SD, HD & HDX (black bars on the sides).

    BTW - How annoying is that iPad app. With no way to sort or search, it took me 15 minutes to find the damn movie in my library.

    Good lord, can we please get BATMAN BEGINS and CHRISTINE fixed? It is a CRIME to see any John Carpenter films in anything but 2:39:1 widescreen. This hasn't been changed in YEARS now. Please!

    Not to mention 16:9 works out to ~1.78:1, just slightly narrower than 1.85:1 -- and only slightly more than the difference between 1.37:1 "Academy ratio" and 4:3 (~1.33:1) SD. Maybe annoying to a purist, but nothing compared to cropping to fullscreen, or even scope to 1.78-1.85:1.
