Changing aspect ratio

Postby rubber » February 16th, 2011, 1:48 pm

Hi guys

Can anyone tell me if its possible to change the aspect ratio on video playback as a lot of the vids i am trying to watch from my usb stick have either black lines down either side or top and bottom.
I realise this will stretch the picture and so distort the viewing a little but i can live with that.

If not could you suggest a different player that might do this and tell me where i can download it from?

many thanks for any help

Welcome Rubber!

Not sure if this will help but another user has mentioned a player at https://market.android.com/details?id=a ... ideoPlayer

Worth a try, If you dont have market access someone might have the apk (setup) file lurking (I dont im afraid)

Employees are like mules. Some you stand in front of and coax them along with a carrot. Some you stand behind and kick them in the arse. The key to management is knowing which mules are which!

The screen is actually 5:3 aspect ratio (not 16:9 as claimed on SO website) so you would need to re-encode your films to match (Meaning widescreen films will still have letterboxing)

You can check aspect ratios based on pixel sizes here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Vector_Video_Standards2.svg
