|
|
Hi,
I use Zoom Player as the media player on my HTPC. After switching to a 2.40:1 screen at 1920*800p I've noticed that some DVD's don't play right.
An example is the Cars (Pixar) DVD. When it plays the movie is 2.39:1 but it is playing in a 1.78:1 screen area. Is there a way in Zoom Player to zoom the picture so it fills the screen evenly, or is it possible to set up a profile in the aspect ratio menu so I can zoom it. I can stretch the width using the fit to windows AR but this gives me a picture about 3:1 as it doesn't stretch vertically as the space is taken up with black bars.
Thanks,
Erik

Setting the aspect ratio to 'derived' usually gets things right for me. There're ways to manually zoom vertically and horizontally but that's kind of a kludge.

Hi Perisoft,
I've tried all of the aspect ratio controls, the problem is the DVD's are recorded in a 1.78:1 AR. My screen is 2.40:1 so the picture doesn't fit within the screen.
What I really need is a Crop setting like the one in VLC media player but with a 2.40:1 Crop setting.
