[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 986624, member: 82144"] That is definitely a bit strange. For a start, it looks like you've set the zoom mode/aspect ratio to "stretch". I'd recommend using "normal" unless you have a 4:3 (old style) TV and you like to have absolutely no black bars, even if it means changing the aspect ratio of the video. "Normal" will make the picture as big as possible without changing its aspect ratio. Pressing the "s" key will cycle through the available aspect ratios. The second thing I see is: So it is like MP thinks the aspect ratio of your screen is changing. Are you using an analog style CRT TV or an LCD/plasma digital TV, and how is it connected to your PC? If analog, is it possible that the TV has some kind of auto-cropping feature that is active (?)... because MP doesn't do this sort of thing. There are plugins (IFC = intelligent frame correction) that automatically adjust the size of the picture, but it doesn't look like you are using that, and as I say it looks like the resolution of your display is changing. mm [/QUOTE]
