    What program will allow me to watch a rented dvd movie on my computer? Or do I just need a certain codec for Windows Media Player 10? ed

    Both are great, but if I may say so, WinDVD is by far and away the superior program.

    I have no idea what you're trying to say lol.

    But if you're talking about the screen size and if the programs are able to convert widescreen/fullscreen, yes, it can do it. With WinDVD, there are multiple options concerning the aspect ratio.

    If that's NOT what you're talking about, please, clean up the sentence lol.

    Oh! You may have the screen resolution too big or too small. Depending on your screen size, it should be something along the lines of 800x600 or 1024x768.

    If that ain't the fix, then I dunno. Anyone else?
