So I'm watching a movie with the most recent xbmc/Kodi release. It's labeled on the DVD cover as a full screen movie. When I play it through my PS3 it plays in full screen with no black bars. But for some reason in xbmc my DVD rip plays with black bars on the side like an old 4x3 tv. I've tried changing ATI setting in the CCC and changing the fullscreen setting in the expert panels and it still shows the black bars. Does anybody have some suggestions on how to get rid of them?

It was charlie browns Christmas. It's weird how when I play the movie on my player it plays fullscreen but the rip will only play 4:3
There are about 20 other movies that ended up doing this as well as Star Trek TNG like I said earlier.

Maybe you are ripping them wrong.
If you want to play a 4:3 movie like CB's Xmas fullscreen on a 16:9 screen, you either stretch it horizontally (and everyone looks fat) or you crop the top and bottom and stretch in both directions. Neither is very satisfactory.
You still haven't given any mediainfo output.

You run a programme called mediainfo. It will give you all sorts of info about the file. I don't run windows, but I know mediainfo is available for windows.
