Two black lines down either side when watching DVD in VLC Media Player
 

Hey guys, im watching a DVD in VLC Media Player and I am experiencing two black lines down either side of my screen. I have tried changing the aspect ratio between 4:3, 16:9 & 16:10, but this has made no difference. Anyone got any suggestions, as to Aspect Ratio's I can try be sides the ones I have already mentioned?

Hi
From my experience with VLC it goes for the 'default' aspect ratio, and usually gets it right.
If you use a program such as MediaInfo to test one of the VOB files it will tell you which aspect ratio was used when the DVD was recorded.
If you try to get rid of those borders using an incorrect aspect ratio setting it will just 'stretch' the picture and it won't look right.
This is the link for MediaInfo but there are probably other programs that do the same job.
