      Both added. Thanks!

        Re: The "Incorrect Aspect Ratio" Thread

        Can someone explain to me what all these movies should look like?

        I just watched bits of 300, Hangover 2, and RE Retribution, and besides SD quality on the latter 2, they all looked fine.

        Are they incorrectly zoomed in or something? I personally can't tell

                Same with Time After Time. Cinemanow and Flixster have it in it's proper widescreen. Kinda strange 2 services have it correct and VUDU doesn't.

                  Re: The "Incorrect Aspect Ratio" Thread

                  Not sure if either one of these are on here but I found some new additions:

                  "An Affair to Remember" - OAR 2.35:1; VUDU 1.77:1
                  "The Hustler: - OAR 2.35:1; VUDU 1.33:1 (?!?!)

                  "The Hustler" transfer REALLY ticks me off. I mean, what's so different between the HDX and the SD if they're both 1.33:1?!

                      Added all three of these. Thanks yet again for the help!

                      So... still waiting on news from Vudu on that planned fix...

                      Currently listed are 110 titles, and it's getting bigger and bigger every few days.

                        I may have missed this in all the pages of this thread but For prkprkprk if and when these movies do get updated are you going to make a note of that back in the original post ?

                          Yes, I will be updating the "Recently Fixed" list with titles that have been corrected.

                                I don't have any of those titles on Vudu, but that is exactly what the issue is. The picture is wider than 1.78:1, but has been zoomed-in to fit a 1.78:1 or 16:9 television. This also happens a lot with movies on cable and premium cable channels. It's horrible in some cases like Ben-Hur which was filmed in 2.76:1 (super wide). It's not as bad for films with a 1.85:1 aspect ratio, because there isn't that much of a difference, though that does still bother me in some cases.
