Re: 16:9 to 4:3 Converter?
Ah yes, my Nan and Grandad used to have their TV set on that odd mode, I didn't like it!
I recently bought one of those 'Sumvision' Cyclone SD card media players to use with my vintage TV's, the only settings for aspect ratio are either 4:3 letterbox (oddly called 16:9...) or 16:9 (called 4:3, but when shown on a 4:3 screen it is all stretched vertically, and actually displays perfectly on a widescreen tv..). I was using a Video iPod before which had correct 4:3 and 16:9 modes, where 4:3 would actually cut out the centre of the 16:9 picture and fill the 4:3 screen without stretching it. The only problem with the iPod was the poor video quality, the frame rate was a bit naff, and it looked a bit pixelated at times.
If there is such a device that can change the aspect ratio, that doesn't cost a fortune, I will be interested!

Lloyd
