Thanks for looking at it. I agree with what you say.
BUT this was recorded on my Humax and plays back on the TV in 16:9 full screen when using the Humax replay. So, why can't I play it back in the same manner when I export it to an external drive.
What screen format settings do have on the TV ? It's clearly stretching the image incorrectly.
???
Hi Graham, in previous post I mentioned that I had a more detailed look at the TV. When using TV native I have full control on aspect ratio. (Flat screen TV is about 3 years old so pretty up to date). However, when I access the external HDD with the .TS files, I only have 2 choices for picture size, FIT (which looks like 4:3) and ORIGINAL (which shrinks it to an even smaller square size). Maybe the Samsung can't handle it?
You say that the Kojak file is a pillarbox 4:3 format. So, how come this is the case when it was recorded on the 9200T and exported using the HUMAXRW utility. Are there any settings I have missed that would export it in 16:9 format?

Presumably because the original broadcast was 4:3.

Basically you need some sort of video editor with a black 16:9 layer with the 4:3 video on top of it.
Afterthought a cheap seperate media player might work.
You could be right. I think this is exhausted now. Thanks for your help. I will see if there is anything I can use in your last post that will work without too much hassle.
I have a cheap media player, I will try it with my TV to see what happens. It doesn't have usb playback.
My Xenta Mini 1080p media player works fine with my TV (connected by HDMI). It's discontinued now but I guess this will work just as well (they probably have the same chips in them)
