Aspect Ratio

[clutch]

Hey, I've got a NV53 series Gateway laptop brand new and I am trying to fix the aspect ratio options but I can't. Does anyone know where I can find it? I've looked everywhere and brought it to best buy and they couldn't find it either so I need help!!

Welcome to seven forums clutch: Since youR gateway has an ATI card you can adjust scren resolution, and aspect ratio in the Catalyst Control Center if installed ATI Catalyst Control Center™

In addition to the above, this is directly from the CCC help file,

Setting the Video Aspect Ratio

1. Based on the navigation system contained in the ATI Catalyst™ Control Center window, do one of the following:
   • Navigation menu—On the Graphics menu, click Avivo™ Video.
   • Navigation tree—From the tree in the Graphics Settings tab, click Avivo™ Video.
2. Click Theater Mode.
3. Under Theater Mode Settings select Match the source video to maintain the aspect ratio of original video.
   • Optionally, select Scale to full screen to have the source video fill the display area.

Try setting CCC to advanced mode instead of basic mode.

Okay i went to advanced (still does'nt look quite like the SS that TheFabe posted) then i went to Avivo Video and this is what i got Cache: fdsfsfgdfgdg As you can see, there is an option for aspect ratio and to fit the full screen but i can't click on it!?!?!? I really appreciate any help guys thanks!!

It seems like your system doesn't recognize your second display. Can you see anything in it? And remember, it needs to be set in "Clone" mode.

i dont have a second display its just thats the only place where i have an option that deal full screen or aspect ratio...

BUT what im really trying to figure out is how to get my catalyst thing to look like that ..

Sorry, I am very confused. If you're dealing with your primary (single) display... maybe you only need to change your screen resolution? Try this and tell us if that's what you're searching for.

Try looking here,



P.S. The CCC comes with a fairly in depth help file, just click on the blue question mark for help file for the screen you are lookign at, or click on Options up near the top right and select Help - Help contents for the full Help file.

P.P.S. The screen shot that thefabe posted is the old style CCC, if you are using the newer ATI drivers (think it was 9.2 or 9.3 that they made the change) then yours will look like the one I posted.

I am trying to use Windows DVD Maker to burn a DVD. The video is in widescreen (16:9) and even though I adjust the aspect ratio from 4:3 to 16:9, the DVD is burned in 4:3 and appears distorted. The funny thing is I can preview the video at the 'Ready to burn DVD' stage and the video plays in widescreen (16:9) format, however, when I proceed to burn the DVD it comes out in a distorted 4:3 ratio. Any suggestions?
