Title: Aspect Ratio Woes on Video
Post by: RiderFan on June 20, 2009, 09:22:39 pm
Hello Everybody (Dr. Nick impression),

I have Media Center 13 installed on 3 PC's with widescreen displays. On 2 of my PC's, my videos play correctly (no black bars), but on 1 of my PC's, I have the dreaded black bars on the top and bottom while watching a 16X9 video.

An example is Tekzilla. The 2 "good" PC's play it correctly, while the "bad" PC puts black bars on the top and bottom, sqishing my video. When I cycle through the display options during full screen video, I only get 3 options, playing now, volume and position. I do not receive an option to change the aspect ratio.

As far as I remember, these PC's are setup the same, so I can't figure out why 1 PC is acting up. If anyone has an idea on how to fix this, please enlighten me, as the WAF is starting to suffer, as all our family videos are squished.

Thanx
