Title: Pixel Aspect ratio
Post by: park on November 30, 2008, 09:58:12 pm

Is it possible to change the pixel aspect ratio in MC, or using haali/ffdshow? A number of dvds that I have ripped look strange no matter what aspect ratio i set, and i guess it's because the pixel aspect ratio is different.

To my knowledge there are three implementations of aspect ratio's you will come across with commercial DVDs:
1) Plain 4:3
2) Anamorphic Widescreen (eg Non Square Pixel) but MC's "Widescreen" (or maybe "Anamorphic") aspect ratio should work
3) Matted Widescreen (4:3 with pillerbox to added letterbox to appear widescreen on a 4:3 telly) - "Crop" works for this one

I've not found anything that one of the MC options can not handle correctly.

Thanks
