I had it with zooming in all the time and decided to just make a back up copy by running it through DVDRebuilder and converting the 4:3 to 16:9. As far as quality is concerned, I sent it through multipasses in HCEncoder and stripped the Spanish and French tracks. It does look better this way than zoomed in on my player. And at least the subs for those few scenes that need it doesn't fall off the screen. It doesn't make any improvemens overall but it's just a convenience for me. But damn it Lucas, this took me a couple of hours to do onmy home computer that's 4 years old. He could have done the same thing, probably with bette results.
