CHiPs - Seasons 4, 5 aspect ratio
Posted: Fri Apr 24, 2020 10:09 pm
Just updated to 1.15.1 (Windows 10) which might have nothing to do with this issue, but in ripping Seasons 4 & 5 of the TV show CHiPs the geometry looks all messed up.
Does this series have a mastering error for these seasons?
Actual resolution according to MKVTollNix is 720 by 480, display resolution is 640 by 480, but the thumbnails in windows shows black pillar boxes on the sides. If I use MPC to play these files they are distorted looking as well unless I select "touch from inside" on the playback. If I leave the playback mode to that though, just about everything else I play looks wrong. These files also play correctly in VLC with no adjustments needed, so is VLC smarter than MPC or is there something in the header that causes this?
