Front Row

Comment comment by VnutZ on 10 March 2008

Has Front Row been improved in Leopard? I thought it was sweet until I couldn't get access to all of the normal controls offered in the DVD Player application. This was an issue to me due to aspect ratio. For whatever reason, my Mac Mini thought my widescreen TV was normal aspect ratio and would therefor play widescreen movies in letterbox. Let me say that letterboxing on a widescreen results in some squished video! Fortunately, the DVD Player has a Video Zoom option on the menu bar that lets me vertically stretch any movie to the appropriate aspect ratio whereupon a have an awesome movie experience. But when I used Front Row - I could only watch the movie however it decided to show it to me. Hence, I stopped using it.
