Video Playback Widescreen - Quicksilver2002 - 2011-08-08 Hey guys, When I play my movies back on XBMC they are playing in widescreen format even though the DVDs aren't widescreen. I do use Handbrake to compress the video into Mp4 and have also tried MKV and both did the same thing. Am I doing something wrong or is this just how its going to be? Thanks - jhsrennie - 2011-08-08 XBMC should play 4:3 video at the correct aspect ratio and leave black bars at the sides where necessary. There is a setting to control this - see System settings, Video, Playback, Display4:3 videos as. The aspect ratio is a setting stored within the video file. It's possible you've managed to get the wrong aspect ratio. The MediaInfo applet from http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/ will tell you what aspect ratio is set in the video file.

I'm ripping with DVDFab and compressing with Handbrake. I hope thsi setting wors so I don't have to re-rip everything! I'll let you know how it works - Quicksilver2002 - 2011-08-09 Ok, I checked the "Display 4:3 video as" and it was set to normal. I changed it to stretched 16:9, but then the picture looks funny. So if the DVD's aren't widescreen, it has to be something with how I'm ripping or compressing these right? - jhsrennie - 2011-08-09 Check with MediaInfo. For example if I use: Code: mediainfo "D:\XBMC\Video\MiscFilms\Allegro Non Troppo.mp4" I get: Code: General JR |
