    I highly doubt it, and if there is such a program, it's news to me.

    I would assume manipulation of pixels would be involved i,e resolution. However, that just doesn't sound practical. That's probably why there are two (2) formats: Widescreen and Fullscreen.

    Sorry.

    steve37,
    I am sure somewhere out there, there is a program that will convert Wide to Full screen but you will have to re-encode the DVD in my opinion as the film will now be elongated. You might try the local video store or the internet to see if there was a full screen version of the movie released

    js78,
    Most people that still want Full screen to so because they have not purchased a Widescreen TV. They are waiting for the full screen TV to die. I have 5 Tv's in the house 2 Widescreens and 3 full screens and I am waiting for the Fulls to die but they are like the Energizer Bunny. They work , and work..... LOL

    I pesonally have both tv's, but to be honest i watch movies in widescreen mode and tv o the full screen. The major thing i hate about widescreen is peoples heads seem so wide. On a full screen, it looks much more realistic....

    wide-screen literally gives you more movie for your money. both wide-screen and full-screen formats are cropped versions of what plays in theaters, but the wide-screen are cropped far less, giving you more of what you want to see.

    as said before, if the black bars are bothering you, simply zoom in. presto: full-screen appearance, with the ability to go back to wide-screen should you ever want to see a movie in a format closer to the way it was intended to be viewed.

    if you absolutely must convert wide-screen to full screen, you simply need to find a program capable of cropping video footage. even Nero can do this, i believe.

    dingus: if the heads seem stretched on a wide-screen tv, it sounds to me like you're watching a full-screen image that's been stretched to fit. do a search here, and you should find ways around this so that you see the movie/show in its proper proportions.
