Media Center Displays Wrong Aspect Ratio Through Xbox 360
Hello,
I have an 1920x816 HD WMV file that I am trying to watch from my Xbox via Windows Media Center. However, instead of displaying it in it's correct aspect ratio (2.35:1), it is vertically smaller. I can't tell if it is actually squishing the picture as the difference is about 3/4-1 inch from what it should be displaying- the picture is about 1/2 inch shorter than what it should be on the top and bottom.
I know for a fact that it is incorrect as I thought it looked thinner than usual so I checked it vs the original disc the file was encoded from via my bluray player and switching inputs back and forth between it and the xbox. I also played the file through the My Xbox -> Video Library and it was displayed correctly. So I have confirmed the problem lies within Media Center.
I have tried adjusting the Zoom settings within Media Center, but it still will not display the correct sized picture. Since my PC monitor is 1920 x 1200 and my TV is 1920 x 1080, I switched the display setting in Media center between the two, and it did not make a difference.
Does anyone know how to fix this- or if it can be fixed?
Thanks!
