Philips DVP642 DivX-Certified Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Problem with Anime files
I run an anime club, and thought this machine would be ideal for playing fansubs in the divx/xvid formats-- on the plus side, all the files DO play.  On the downside, any anime with HARD subtitles gets cropped and the subs are unwatchable. The picture seems to lose about 1/2&quot; on each side.<br />Now, I don't know if this is the player's problem... but i tried it on two different TVs from two different manufacturers, and it was the same for both (neither TV is HD or capable of running in progressive scan mode).  When I run my laptop through my TV, however, everything plays perfectly and nothing is cropped.<br />Anyone have any suggestions?  Maybe it's just me.
