    Problems with screen resolution when playing some DVDs on Xbox one S


    When I play some DVDs on my Xbox one S, the screen resolution for the film comes out in a square picture 3 x 3. Yet when I play this same DVD in my blu-ray player, it plays perfectly in widescreen format. When I put the DVD in my Xbox One player, the film
    previews all play in perfect widescreen, but as soon as the main film starts, the screen resolution jumps to this square picture.

    Everything else on Xbox One is perfect, games etc. It's just this problem with certain DVDs. Why is this? I have looked on the Internet, and have noticed that other customers have had exactly the same experience, getting this square picture resolution
    on some DVDs. Is this a fault with all Xbox One S consoles? Are Microsoft aware of it? Have others contacted you, with the same problem? Do you have any advice?

    :)

    i think the xbox one should of went with hddvd as there game disk.

    Xbox One can achieve 4k resolution for gaming. So all games can be NATIVELY in HD, not like for 360's example, many games are running NATIVELY only in sub-HD resolutions and upscaled. Bluray can hold much more data than even HD DVD. Plus Xbox One should
    be able to play DVD's (?). You can CLEARLY tell the difference when they show Xbox One games and Xbox 360 games. Xbox One has new hardware.

    Problem reading discs

    Exchanged the Xbox at shop I bought it from, it played one DVD so I thought great but no same problem when I tried another one yesterday and the DVD plays fine in the other Xbox, PS3 and DVD player at home and a Xbox s at someone else's home!! Needs sorting!

    Xbox One S doesn't display 4k on Normal Blu Rays it converts 1080p

    This is the exact same behaviour I find.

    I have my Xbox One S set to UHD 4K resolution for my 4K TV and the games and UHD 4K Blu-rays work fine at that resolution but when I pop a DVD or standard Blu-ray disc in, all I get is a postage stamp sized video in the middle of the screen. I am assuming
    that the fault lies with the player software and not the Xbox One S hardware.

    Very disappointing as it means that I can't use the XBox One S to play all my disc based video content on my 4K TV :(

    Can anyone from Microsoft shed any light as to a potential fix for this ?

    Tv Settings

    There's no such thing as Panorama Screens. We used Panorama Aspect Ratios to encode DVDs because we couldn't encode 480/576 using square pixels as the resulting resolution volatile both DVD and broadcasting standards (1024 x 576 / 853 x 480). So we compressed
    the image horizontally (1024/853 into 720). We sacrificed horizontal resolution to maintain vertical resolution. When you playback the DVD on a wide-screen, it is stretched to fill the screen. We no longer have this problem so there's no need for us to use
    non-square pixels. Now lets close this subject.

    Xbox 1X Dvd playback and upscaling?

    Hi there,

    The Xbox should be upscaling video resolution to what is capable by the DVD and the TV. Whenever you play normal HD DVD's and the resolution is displayed by your TV in 576p, what is the resolution displaying in your Xbox video settings? Take a look if the
    resolution setting is still at 4K or 1080p whichever you have it set to when you play your DVDs.

    Have you already tried re-installing the Blu-ray player app? If you haven't, I suggest doing so and let us know if the problem persists.
