Issue: MC26 GUI issue with MadVR adjusting image resolution and or aspect ratio

Except you have to do that when you're playing a frame packed 3D Blue ray on a 4K Display or projector that requires 23.976 1920x1080 input for 3D.

Unfortunately, thats not very likely for the forseeable future. Changing resolution mid-playback runs into various limitations with Windows DPI handling and how MCs window drawing was developed. It would require a massive internal redesign which is a very long-term project, and not a quick fix.
As such, we cannot recommend resolution changes. Or you can use the OSD, which I believe should scale better.

I think the thing you're missing is that you can have MC perform resolution and refresh rate changes, while letting MadVR do everything else.
Even if MC cannot automagically detect the resolution or refresh rate settings you desire for a particular movie, you can use any field you want (or a combination, or custom fields) to trigger a zone switch , and through ZoneSwitch, you will have absolute control of the resolutions and/or refresh rates used.
The only complication is that by default your video driver expects square pixels. Even when MadVR is running with the anamorphic correction on, your Video Card believes it is (and IS) outputting square pixels. MadVR is distorting the image and mapping a non-square-pixel image onto the square pixel grid that is transmitted over the HDMI, to compensate for the distortion caused by your lens. Anamorphic projection is inherently non-square-pixels.
If you really want your video card to be able to understand what's happening, you would have to configure a custom resolution with non-square pixels and custom timings. Not sure if your video driver will support that. The MadVR option you're using exists for cards that can't.
Movieman:
OK, sorry to hear that.
Seems to me that the resolution change occurs before playback actually starts, not mid playback.

Which OSD is that?
Do you think settable presets with hot keys for zoom would be possible in the near future? It's been requested for quite a while now.

How do you apply a zone switch to a physical Blue ray disc?
