MP4 Files - Aspect Ratio Tag, Fixing Letterboxing et al
#1
Hey all -

So I've been trying to figure out how to help XBMC play my media files correctly. With a movie-length piece, I have the time to go through the zoom options manually to find the one that works.

However, I watch a lot of music videos, and it's tedious to have to change the zoom setting every 3 minutes. So I've been looking into MP4s, and apparently they have a metadata tag for aspect ratio, that's referenced by the media player.

1) How does XBMC use the metadata aspect ratio tag? If I set that tag appropriately, will XBMC automatically stretch squashed videos, or remove letterboxing?

2) Does anyone have a tool they use for this? Or a list of acceptable MP4 Tag types?

Thanks for your help.

-Mike
