[QUOTE="bigj, post: 142853, member: 10940"] This feature would be nice. As to the implementation: I'm not sure how the VMR9 frames reach the screen. I've always assumed there is a simple D3D quad (two triangles) and the video frames are applied as a texture. If this is the case, it would be trivial to reprogram the quad to be split into 1:N variable width vertical strips. The video is always displayed at full screen resolution. There should be a profile per stretch ratio, so that at 1:1 (true widescreen source on true widescreen destination device) the current single quad (strip) is used, at 4:3->16:9 stretch the profile_4_3_to_16_9 is used etc. The profiles are a simple text file that defines the number and ratio of the strips for that stretch ratio. But, I'm suspicious that the code to present the VMR9 video isn't that controllable, since I've often wondered why there isn't MediaPortal controllable brightness-contrast-gamma; that should also be relatively easy to support if it (the video) is being presented as a simple texture on D3D geometry. (as would skin definable warps, keystoning correction, mirroring etc etc) [/QUOTE]
