I wanted to see what would happen if I modified screenshots for Dead or Alive 3 to mimic the aspect ratio used for some movies. The original pictures were all 640x480 pixels or 12:9 aspect ratio. This might give users of HDTV sets an idea of what the video output from Xbox would look like. Below is a list of the pictures I started with and the modified results. Enjoy!

Example ONE

doa3_12x9_00.jpg - Original 12:9 aspect ratio
doa3_16x9_00.jpg - Distorted to 16:9
doa3_16x9_00a.jpg - Cropped from top to 16:9
doa3_16x9_00b.jpg - Cropped from middle to 16:9
doa3_235_00.jpg - Distorted to 2.35:1
doa3_235_00a.jpg - Cropped from top to 2.35:1
doa3_235_00b.jpg - Cropped from middle to 2.35:1
