Ripped movies not displaying properly on Sony Bravia XBR-55
My apologies in advance if I'm asking a question that's already been asked or if I'm not providing all the appropriate details...I'm new to this conference.
I'm attempting to set up a Home Media System for my muli-handicapped son who's passion in life is movies. This approach should greatly simplify the end-to-end process for him. OK, now for the problem and where I can use your help.
Here's my attempted set-up
Here's the problem I'm encountering
- I'm ripping his DVD movies to MP4 using WinX-DVD Premium Ripper
- Storing the movies on an external 2TB harddrive connected to my DELL desktop running Windows7 Ultimate, 64-bit
- Using Windows Media Centre / Media Browser to stream & display the movies
- Running the movies thru a new Xbox-360 (using MC extender), connected to
- Xbox is connected to Sony Bravia XBR-55 via HDMI (HDMI 2)
Any ideas on what I can do to rectify this problem? Also, any ideas you have to further simplify this overall process for my handicapped son would be welcome and greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.
- I'm ripping all the DVD's using the exact same format
- Some of the movies are displaying "full screen" while some of them are only displayed on 2/3's of the screen - right in the middle
Note: These are Full Screen vs. Widescreen movies.- The movies I'm experiencing this problem with work fine if
- I run them from the DVD player (i.e. Google TV - these are NOT Blu-ray DVDs)
- I stream them from the computer, via WMP straight to the Sony TV - this approach is supported, but with an antiquated interface...ugh!
