I often  have to manually select FORMAT 2 on the beo4 to watch a movie which is then in rather poor quality (i'm guessing because it's zoomed), it is getting annoying! Is this just what all movies are encoded as these days?

Or is there something wrong with my setup...?

And just as i typed this i remembered that i unplugged the DVD1 from the wall, settings on DVD1 reset (to 4:3 panscan), changed setting to 16:9, problem solvered.
