[QUOTE="Paranoid Delusion, post: 407506, member: 13176"] The reason behind this is to get the best visual aspect ratio, set on the actual video parameters. Stretch\non-linear zoom all have side effects, seen mainly if you view something that should be round, goes distinctly oval, thats why 14:9 mode looks way better for 4:3 viewing than any other setting, letterbox detection also works a treat, do you ever get video with a black border all the way around (16:9), we do with BBC\Five channels, TV's automatically stretch these, generally pc's do not, whichever codec you use. Plus a lot of my video's I use non-linear stretch for, ok if that is set under MP config as the default, when I play a 1280x720HD movie, it will stretch it, so again anything round goes oval, same would apply to 1080 material. This plugin just gives you the chance to setup individual profiles for each aspect ratio according to the video input, once setup, this is all done automatically for the video you are viewing, no more manually changing, this is another thing that raises the WAF factor :) [/QUOTE]
