View Full Version : Can I turn a 4:3 movie into a 16:9 with IfoEdit?

I'm so new to this that I don't even know if this question is stupid or not ...but here goes...

I have several movies (Pulp Fiction, Pretty Woman, Midnight Cowboy, to name a few) that are in Wide-Screen format (16:9) but have been proportionally "shrunken down" to fit a 4:3 format. This works OK if you have a 4:3 TV screen. However when I try to watch it on my 16:9 projector screen it appears as a small "wide-screen" in 4:3 format with black bars all around. I can adjust my DVD player to "zoom up" the picture to fill the screen but I was wondering if there was a way I could do this in IfoEdit and get it to recognize the movie as 16:9 instead of 4:3.

Any information anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks...
