Build 50 - Aspect Ratio still not correct for PAL videos
« on: December 09, 2011, 04:33:20 pm »
I reported this back for build 46 - PAL videos played back with RO STD are displayed with an incorrect aspect ratio (4:3 showing for widescreen videos). This is happening with both recorded TV (jtv) and other video formats.

It is still happening with build 50.

Is there any way you could provide a sample file?  We haven't been able to reproduce this.

Thanks.

Thanks Paul.

I'll follow up early next week once I get a chance to test in a debugger.

I'm hoping this is the same issue as this one:

Let us know once build 54 or newer is available if the new option solves your issue.

Thanks.

Thanks for following-up.

The sample you provided is playing correctly for me.

Is it possible you have non-square pixels?  What's your desktop resolution and what's the aspect ratio of your display?

You can correct for this in Options > Video > Advanced.

That explanation wouldn't make sense as the picture is fine when using RO HQ, but not when using RO STD.

Matt - can you please clarify if you consider this resolved? I am getting the identical problem on 3 different PCs now.

It looks like it's a problem with LAV Video + EVR.  It's fine with ffdshow video + EVR or LAV Video + madVR.
[I mispoke.  See below.]

I'm paging nevcairiel, and will let you know what we find.

Thanks.

I apologize for saying it looks like an LAV Video thing.  It's actually a Microsoft decoder problem. 

LAV Video works fine, which might be an argument to switching to LAV Video for MPEG-2 television.  Currently Red October Standard prefers the Microsoft decoder for television.

I'm speaking with nevcairiel about it.

This will be changed in a coming build, but it might not be available for a week or so.

You can probably work around the problem until then by using Custom video mode.

Add a rule to use LAV Video decoder for jtv.

Thanks for your help getting to the bottom of this.
