My dvds dont play in widescreen?

I just got a 42 LCD and dvds on my xbox dont play in widescreen. Games are widescreen (16:9) and dvds are widescreen(says on the box) whats wrong?

While watching a dvd press a go to advanced then go to display mode (letterbox, strech, and native)

Hi,

Having the same problems as the author. The dashboard and games are widescreen on my projector, but loading up any dvd film (tried a few) black bars appear to the left and right and the image is 4:3 looking streched / distorted.

Hitting B and going to advanced choose the display options, toggling through native etc all doesnt make the image fill the screen. Just makes the image more or less stretched within its 4:3 box

I've recently changed from a dead Old 360 Pro to a new arcade as it had RROD, they used to play ok.

My system settings are 720P widescreen

According to all the hardware problems its not for much of anything. Keep on topic please or I will have to lock this thread.

I have always wanted to say that..:)

When you're playing the DVD, hit Y to bring up the DVD controls, then hit the button on the right to bring up advanced options, and change the video frame to stretch. That'll solve your problem.
