I'm currently testing out some of my first burned AVCHD discs.
I'm using a borrowed Sony BDP-S350. I've found that when the resolution isn't exactly 720 / 1080 standards it does not properly output resulting in video glitching or a split screen. Example: Underworld - Rise of the Lycans is 1920x800 instead of 1920x1080. I understand you can use some video encoding software to add the bars above and below until the proper resolution is reached. I've noticed with resolutions such as these that tsmuxer does add a 6k 01900.m2ts file in the appropriate resolution but it doesn't seem to have made a difference with this player. what I'd like to know is do other players have this issue or is it something specific to this player? if it's just this player I just won't buy one for myself =) but if it's an issue with a lot / most of them I'll need to find different software and learn to add the bars. anyone know??

Any Blu-Ray player needs correct resolution. Crops (i.e. 1920x800) are not allowed.

The Underworld 3 is 1920x1080. Yours might not be if you downloaded from the net ;)

thanks for the info, will have to readjust any that have the letterbox bars cropped out

Where did you get the non-standard rips?

any mkv rip that's not bd5 or bd9 is automatically cropped to allow for higher video quality

What program are you using that does this automatically?

they were not my rips, were you needing a program that does it though? ripbot264 has an autocrop option, it might be able to
