    I am using Power DVD and am wanting to use it to play my divx/xvid movies but it stretches the crap out of the film when I watch it full screen, I have played with the settings and checked the box to keep the aspect ratio but it still persists. Please any feedback would help.

    Thanx Jimbob.

    I have Nero 5.5.10.42 and the instructions don't match. When Nero come up it askes what recorder you would like to use and what you want to burn....ex. data, music....the instructions say to use a wizard and i can't get one. There is no help menu to chose one. Any ideas? thanks

    Ok i will answer your question but you literally just jumped on the wrong forum and thread there to ask the question!

    If you mean DVD to DVD copies of Playstation Games, get Alcohol 120% and put the cd in your dvd drive, click image making wizard and set datatype to playstation 2!

    When you have an image saved, click image burning wizard and change datatype once again to Playstation 2!

    Yep, as long as your ps2 is chipped and you use reliable dvd-r media, problems will be very little. I dont use messenger either!

    And im not sure what you meant by new topic to be honest!

    WinDVD 5 is so much better than PowerDVD that if WinDVD and PowerDVD were cars, Power DVD would be so far behind in a race it wouldnt even hit the smoke coming from WinDVD! ;-)

    I am running Power DVD ver 4. I have an AMD 2400, 512 ram, 64 meg geforce 2, 80 gig hd and I have checked hardware acceleration but either way it still does the same thing. Thanx. I will give WinDVD a go but if it is anything like winamp well...... it is worth a try thanx again for the help.
