I purchased AVIA, and they claim that they were unable to force the 16:9 mode for the 16:9 test patterns, so they show it compressed and that I should force my TV into 16:9 mode. Unfortunately, I can't do that, so it's useless for me for 16:9. Wonderful otherwise, though. Too bad they couldn't figure out how to force 16:9 mode, since most DVDs I've seen have switched modes back and forth between the menu and the movie.
