		NEW VIDEO FEATURES OF POWERDVD v5.0 Since 2002, many leading electronic companies have begun to develop and release widescreen LCD displays for desktop and notebook PCs. The introduction of these new widescreen monitors has given PC users a whole new and exciting way to experience entertainment. Similar to the impact widescreen TVs made, the introduction of these new monitors allow anyone to watch movies in widescreen mode on their computer, just like in the movie theater. However, before you can fully enjoy the benefits of a new widescreen monitor, there are some issues to clear up regarding different display (aspect) ratios of conventional and widescreen displays. If you watch a widescreen movie (in widescreen mode) on a regular 4:3 display, black bars will be placed on the top and bottom of the screen. On a widescreen monitor you will not have this problem, and will be able to enjoy the film in full screen view. However, most standard (4:3) movies will be stretched to fit the screen, which causes the movie picture to be distorted. This is a problem that even the best display device cannot overcome. Yet, with the release of PowerDVD 5, and the introduction of CLPV, a solution to the problem is now here!
		WIDESCREEN DISPLAY: WHAT IS CLPV? CyberLink Pano Vision (CLPV™) is a new technology that delivers non-linear stretching of 4:3 movies played on widescreen display devices (or widescreen films on 4:3 displays) to reduce the distortion, seen in traditional linear stretching, and to give a more natural look! A special cropping technique (called Smart Stretch) further improves the display of the picture. Thus, you can now view any movie you want in the correct aspect ratio for your display device, even if the original movie doesn't support it.

		HOW TO ACTIVATE CLPV: CLPV is a sophisticated technology that recalculates the entire picture ratio in order to generate the optimal fit for your display device. This can require a bit more computer processing power, so we recommend that if you plan to use CLPV, you should have a PC with a CPU of 700MHz or higher. To activate CLPV, simply right click on the movie picture to bring up the Express Menu, and then select either "Fit to screen" or Smart stretch". Smart stretch will crop the edges of the picture a bit to improve the overall look. So, whether you have a widescreen or a traditional 4:3 display device, you can see that PowerDVD 5's all new CLPV technology can help to give you the perfect way to view any movie, no matter what the aspect ratio. Try it today and see for yourself!
		DIGITAL ZOOM: Step 1. Open PowerDVD and play the movie. With the movie running on full screen, hit the right click button on your mouse and bring up the PowerDVD Express Menu . As you will notice, there is a section for "Digital Zoom", which when highlighted, displays the option to zoom by either 4 times or 9 times the normal screen ratio. (Please note that the Digital Zoom feature is not available unless you are in full screen mode.) Step 2. Once you have located the scene you want, just follow the procedure in Step 1. For this example we can see a scene in a movie where the character is reading a magazine (see image below). Unfortunately, at the normal screen ratio it is not possible to read the text. That is where Digital Zoom comes in!
This locator box can be found at top left portion of the screen.		Step 3. When you zoom in on the picture you will notice a small Locator box in the top left hand corner of the screen. With this box you can see which portion of the screen you have zoomed in to. To view other areas of the screen, hold down the mouse button, and move the mouse where you want to go on the screen. When you do this you will notice that the Locator box moves to show your new location on the screen. To get back to the normal screen ratio just right-click on the screen to bring up the Express menu again. Then select Digital Zoom and highlight "off". Once you try this feature out you will surely use it again and again. [Continue]
