I'm using DVD Decrypter along with Videora iPod Converter 2.19 to convert my movies. I've followed the instructions for both DVD Decrypter and Videora and everything completes successfully. However, when I view my widescreen movies in my iPod, about 1/10 of the sides on each end have been cropped. I can see this because when the introduction credits are end to end, the words are usually chopped off. For the widescreen movies, I even get the black bars on the top and bottom so I know it can tell that it is a widescreen. When I convert regular fullscreen movies, everything works fine.

Is this something that can be configured in Videora to change this? I'm using the default H.264 QVGA 768kbps Stereo/128kbps profile. Or, is this something that needs to be changed in DVD Decrypter?

Please help.

Check that the widescreen option in your iPod is turned on.

Ah, that did it! Thanks Midiman. Although, I think I'll keep it at the "off" setting since I can barely see anything when it's in complete widescreen.
