[QUOTE="Hojou, post: 111176, member: 28936"] the second picture you posted is excatly what i needed to see. That picture shows (as far as i can see) a perfect picture. The movie was recorded, cut edited etc. for a movie theather in mind. When displaying on a TV (wide or 4:3) black bars are added to maintain correct aspect ratio. That is displayed the way it was ment to be displayed. Now i still don't know if what you really want is to watch the movie the way it was intended or if you actually wanted some feature to stretch the picture even higher - making the two guys look a bit goofy ;) I can see a portal guy designer explaining what would be needed for the picture to be zoomed vertically - a feature to zoom in small incrimental steps would always be a nice feature, but i must admit i wouldn't have thought of a feature to scale x and y independantly like it seems you want? I guess if my brain was a computer (or something) i would like to have it stretch all the way - too fill all the screen and have my brain do the interpretation of the image (doing some scaling myself if i needed) but since my brain (sadly) isn't - i think it would annoy me to watch the movie with incorrect aspect ratio... i mean if the picture was stretched to fill the entire screen, the guys standing like they do now would have long slim faces and if they tilted their heads they would get wierd psycodlic-like wide faces instead? Ok i need to quit writing, i bet this isn't making much sense anymore? My point was, the second picture (the one taken with a physical camera) looks perfect! the picture is not messed up - stretching it up and down would mess it all up... Oh well i hope you find a solution ;) If your TV has a letterbox setting on the remote or something you might get the desired (but wrong :P) result if you use "normal" setting in MP and "letterbox" on your TV ;) [/QUOTE]
