[QUOTE="mpab, post: 340316, member: 85476"] I'm using RC4 on a laptop that's connected via S-Video to a TV. I've set it to start in the secondary screen. It works great except for a detail: most (but not all) videos appear as a black screen unless I set the Aspect Ratio in Original. I could set the secondary screen to no lower than 800x600 for the TV, so that many videos that cannot be zoomed appear too small. What puzzles me the most is that this kind of thing will happen in random video files of any given series, all with the same specs and the same codec (DivX or XVid). I haven't been able to track down the cause. What can it be? The files play perfectly on VLC or any other media player.
