Problem with aspect ratio
Hi guys
I've just embraced the HD revolution having got a new TV for Christmas but I am having problems with videos being played with the wrong aspect ratio.
The videos are all SD TV, most have a resolution of 720x576 but some are 544x576, they should all scale to a standard 16:9 format on playback. This all worked fine on my widescreen crt.
The new TV is full HD. I've adjusted the windows desktop to 1920x1080 (I had to increase the size to make it fit - not sure if this is relevant). I've set up MC from scratch to use the display, however, in the section that covers screen size the video is missing info from the left and right sides (about 5% each side), vertical is OK.
Playing videos, the 720x576 ones are stretched horizontally and I am missing the left and right sides of the image, best guess 15-20% either side, however, the 544x576 videos are scaled correctly with no loss of image.
I've gone thru all of the MC zoom setting and it is not this that is the problem. I've also checked the registry and it appears to have the correct settings for the set up.
The video card is an ATI model and I am connecting to the TV using HDMI.
The videos play correctly in WMP12 in full screen.
An ideas?
