[QuadList] DVD vs Blu-Ray

[Fred Kovach]

Hi Steve,

It prob is 480i anamorphic.  Many bluray players will play whatever is in them at 1080p. Anamorphic refers to a 16:9 being squeezed into a 4:3 picture, which is then stretched out to the full 16:9 screen on the monitor. 

That being said, TQ's advice to use VLC is your best between to find out what format it's in. 

Take care, 
Fred
