Wrong subtitle aspect ratio when playing DVD

[mahsah]

After solving one of my other DVD playback problems by not using VLC, I discovered another that seems to be more prevalent.

When I play a DVD, the aspect ratio of the subtitle is wrong (it is very stretched out). Is there any software that can correct this scaling error?

Thanks.

After solving one of my other DVD playback problems by not using VLCAs I responded to that thread about "ghosting" (which you've since apparently deleted), I would again say:

What you've described here (wrong subtitle aspect ratio) is very unusual for a commercial DVD.

1) What is the title and Region number of the DVD?

2) What are you using for playback (SAP or software player? If software player, which one?

1. Gurren-Lagann Volume 1. Region 1.

2. Media player Classic.

1) Do the subs display properly when you play the DVD on a standalone DVD player?

2) Which version you have? - "Vol. 1:Breakout" (Studio - AVD, 1 disc) (Discontinued), "01" (Studio - Bandai, 2discs), or "01 Special Edition" (Studio - Bandai, 2 discs)?

3) Do the subs of this DVD display properly when using other players, such as Windows Media Player, VLC, WinDVD, PowerDVD?

Oh, I found a feature in powerdvd that does exactly what I need. ("Read-It-Clearly")

Guess I'll have to shell out some cash for it though...

Yeah, I tried the others, can't find a feature that does what I need.

1. Yes, but the TV I have it on isn't widescreen
2. 01 Bandai (not the special edition)
