[QUOTE="ziphnor, post: 221709, member: 14215"] It is quite intentional that the cropper removes black bars even wider than 16:9! It is the responsibility of the *zoom* mode to deal with this. The cropper simply determines which part of the video contains an image, it is up to the zoom mode to decide how to render this. Unless something has been changed the Normal zoom mode will display a letterboxed movie (16:9 or wider) *aspect correct* (ie people wont look too tall). On the other hand the 'Stretch' mode + autocrop will stretch the image onto the entire display area. It is important to be able to do both, because some people prefer to stretch a 16:9 movie to a 4:3 display or a really wide movie to a 16:9 display. This is consistent with what happens to non-letterboxed movies. If you on a 4:3 display watch a 16:9 movie without black bars, then stretch will give you tall people, while normal will give you the best aspect ratio correct image possible. Put another way, most people will want to use the *Normal* zoom mode with the autocropper, but if you want to use the entire array no matter what, then use AutoCrop + Stretch. [/QUOTE]
