Aspect Ratio Bizareness

Post by te me! »

Oh first off, wonderfull software! If this goes to market I'll be first in the que to buy my copy!

Makes me smile every time I use it!

Apart from one minor issue....

On some films it decides to make a really odd screen size, like a miniature 16:9, now the std screen size I undersatnd even tho I'm pretty sure my dvd's are full screen but heh that's the end of the world.

Is therer any way to choose the aspect ratio?

Guys,

This is nothing to do with MakeMKV, it does not touch the video.

You can thank the original DVD for this behavior, they used letterboxing instead of anamorphic widescreen. Hence, you see a 4:3 video, with black bars at the top and bottom already embedded in the video, and the black bars on the sides are there because 4:3 aspect video will not fill your 16:9 screen.
