I'm experiencing incorrect aspect ratio when watching videos.

Both divx avi's and anamorphic x264 mkv's shows incorrect aspect ratio when using the built-in player. Zoomplayer shows correct AR.

I'm using ffdshow to decode the videos. No resizing.

LCD TV Monitor resolution 1360x768

Which zoom mode are you using? Did you calibirate MP correctly?

 

[camoura]

I tried every zoom mode.

The calibration screen shows a perfect square. Strange is that if I make the square looks less like a square I get the correct aspect ratio.

I'm confused.

Have you checked "use overlay mixer" in ffdshow settings? Did you try playing in Windows Media Player outside of MP?

 

[camoura]

"use overlay mixer" is checked. Should it be checked or unchecked??

Zoomplayer plays it correctly. Windows media player does not.

 

[daniel_1980]

"use overlay mixer" should be checked. So that's not it.

Thank you all for trying to help.

It appears that everything is fine with Media Portal.

I was setting up zoomplayer the wrong way.
Sometimes is hard to tell which aspect ratio is the correct one.
