Just curious about something regarding aspect ratios

Post by Go-On Macaroni »

So, I d/l'd eps33-38 of HD Double and wondered about something. When I play the video through Mpc-Hc, it takes up the whole screen (and I no see black bars) despite the player's aspect ratio being set to "touch video from inside" which acts like widescreen iirc. Is it 'cause of my widescreen monitor or do I have it set wrong? :<

Why don't you use 'normal size',it seems fine with me!

The eps are in widescreen.
Your monitor is widescreen.
There shouldn't be any letterboxing, unless your monitor is 16:10 instead of 16:9. Anyway, to make sure it's the right size, just go to View>Video Frame>Override Aspect Ratio>Default. Viewing in fullscreen shouldn't distort the aspect ratio, so if you have a 16:10 widescreen monitor you'll get small letterboxing at the top and bottom. If you have a 16:9 widescreen monitor, the video will fill your entire screen. If you're still having issues, check the CRC to make sure it's not corrupted.
