[QUOTE="NLS, post: 69211, member: 20102"] No this is NOT something that will be configurable by the user. This is pretty standard in all 16:9 TV (haven't you seen any?). No I don't think there is any easy to setup free soft that does it. I am not sure if either progdvb or mytheater does this (I think it was one of the two... not sure though... maybe some other dvb software). Anyway the idea is something like that (made in MS Paint in 5 min): [img]http://www.ilogic.gr/various/4-3=16-9.JPG[/img] i.e. you leave the center (the action area) normal (so actor heads won't show "wide" etc.), while as you move further to the edges it is streched more and more. In practice it works so good that many times you are not sure if a film is indeed 16:9 or stetched. Even circles that are near the centerer still look circles, while circles that are closer to the edge are "soft" deformed (and not much) so you may not even notice it. As I said, MP should decide that resize formula (staticaly, just based on source and destination sizes) and is nothing for the user to configure. You probably have seen in in 16:9 TV. If not, visit a friend or a shop and try it. :) [/QUOTE]
