Recently bought an LG bp530 my question is when I’m watching my older bootleg videos they show up in the middle of my screen with black bars down the side.On my old regular dvd player they used my whole widescreen tv.Can you change the setting so the picture fills the whole screen of your tv when watching older bootleg dvds on these new blu-ray models.

Sounds like you want to choose the last option below.
