Joe, if you don't mind me asking, where are you from ... ? because here in SA it's not that easy just buying 2 TV's ... they cost as much as my monthly salary ...

LMFAO "I discovered a way to build a wide-screen TV..." LOL

Also, copying a DVD movie is illegal.

hey dude what you are doin is illegal, your makin a illegal copy of movie.

I watched the video and no where did I see anyone making an illegal copy of a movie. There is a gray area when it comes to making backup copies of DVD's for personal use.

Anyway this hack is kind of dumb. Who wants a bar in the middle of the screen?

Exactly ... It may be cool if there were like 20 screens at a 5:4 ratio ... but only two makes the bar look real big ...

thats really dumb, why would u want a massive line through the middle of your movie, your better of sleeping with your neighbours wife so her husband moves out and you can watch her big screen TV.

'backup' copies of movies are fine, u cant just sell or loan the copy to people, you are allowed to download a copy of a movie if you have the original DVD, you own the DVD so you own the right to play it on which ever medium you want, TV or computer.
