[QUOTE="ziphnor, post: 69775, member: 14215"] Ive actually started to play around with this after being frustated with watching on a 16:9 TV programs that containt letterboxed 16:9 material with logos and text in the black areas. Im currently playing around with a heuristic which given a bitmap(ie frame of video) decides on the area that should be shown, trying to cut logos in black bars away, but keeping subtitles. Im creating it standalone for now(ie loading a bitmap from file) and i will need some help integrating it into MP. My hope is that we could have a button that when pressed performed the auto-detection only once. We could then later look for a heuristic that is efficient enough to run every few frames or similar, but right now i just want something that doesnt make a wrong guess. Its actually not simple because the black bars are not really black, so the transition from a black bar to a dark image is that not that simple to spot.
