Wow, thanks!
They are distorted in the first place.. Actually it is two fold. For years we have run the Video Jukebox on widescreen TVs but the media has been 4x3, or even worse. Wanting to use up all the space on our fancy new widescreen TVs (and not burn in the Plasma!!), we found a way to make the videos fill the screen. Sure people are fatter, but being a very early adopter type, I don't even see that stretched look. In the TV jukebox (Front Room), all TV shows from the past are played stretched, (XBMC), otherwise the Plasma would burn the black bars in (well the opposite, you know what I mean). Now I am fine with videos that are pillarboxed correctly, I would just as soon leave those alone, (Garage has no burn in issues, no plasmas) they look fine natural, but I do have quite a few that must have been ripped by an idiot
, with pillars sometime using more than half the screen. I want those to be fixed, so a default stretch would solve all the problems.
What a fantastic response here. I am the "guru" for a half dozen or so "ejukeboxes" at friends homes. I will continue to heartily endorse MC.
(I have bought in so far as to go through and rename all the videos, (25% done so far), with three fields instead of two, so MC can pick them up and we can sort better. What an awesome tool.)
