The current view modes are:
Normal
Original
Zoom
Stretch
Non linear stretch
LetterBox43
Non linear stretch right to the edges of the display is often too extreme and distorts the picture too much.
I would really like to push for an additional view modes of 10-20% (max) Non linear stretch.
Here is a diagram showing 10% non linear stretch on a 16:9 display
The reason for this is because non linear stretch right to the edges of the display is often too extreme and distorts the picture too much. I'm currently using a 16:10 display, a non linear stretch of a widescreen 2.35:1 AR movie really distorts the movie too much. I also find that non linear stretch of 2.35:1 on a 16:9 TV is a little too extreme as well.
Another option is that instead of adding 2x additional view modes, is to be able to set the maximun non linear stretch percentage in the mediaportal configuration with the default being no maximun (current status quo)
If I could have my cake and eat it to, I would have non linear stretch of up to 10% enabled all the time unless the width of the video was exactly 1920 pixels, in this case I would prefer not to stretch to retain a 1:1 pixel perfect mapping.
