Dear Beard.
Naturally first I want to shout that This is THE only solution for Every media there can be (hd discluding)! Amazing work!!!

I searched the manual but still I can't find anything about DVD's angle selection? I have one Test-DVD for calibrating TV etc Sets and they use several angles. In OSD video settings during play, I have not been able to find any section to involve angles.

Are there support for this?

i don't see how the statement

'no it is currently not supported' could be misunderstood.

the other was just a lame joke over the fact that it is mostly a certain part of the movie industry that has embraced that particular feature of dvd's.

Well, actually the I'm really talking about Test DVD, not porn DVDs, but it does not matter what the subject is about. Still, there is angle feature missing, but it seems that the demand for this is so low, so I'll just stick using MS's DVD player solution instead for these rare occations.

My porn is in DivX format. Smile

If by angle you mean the aspect ratio then you can change this by pressing "Z" on your
keyboard during playback.
I also just remembered if you go into settings/videoplayback, at the bottom of the list you will see display 4:3 videos as either "Normal/Zoom/Wide zoom/Stretch 16:9"
This may be better for you but play around with it and see which suits you best.

Thanks Paul,

I was referring to actually changing the angle of a dvd. Some concert dvds i have are able to change during songs of angles of the crowd and stage etc. Like most dvd remotes have angle button on them and if there is a different video feed it would change.
