Aspect Ratio, correct settings?

[Kimpsu]

Hi!

 

I have a widescreen tv with a resolution of 1024*768. That causes a silight problem. Is there a way to make DVBViewer scale the height of the image always to 1,33 times the original height? I guess I might be able to do that with ffdshow post processing, but is there some other workaround?

 

I have currently set 4:3 aspect ratio which seems to cause the effect I hoped for, but I am not sure it works in every situation correctly, where as in scaling the image to 1,33 times the original height always would.

 

Thanks.

Since no-one seems to know if there is a setting to select display aspect ratio, I'll just use the 4:3 aspect ratio for videos

How about the Zoom function of DVBViewer? Have you tried it?

Yes, but it works only partially. 4:3 broadcast would be cut from up and below, and in some cases subtitles too.

 

What I am looking for is the same sort of aspect ratio setting for my display as there is in for example virtually every dvd-player. It would override the fact that the resolution is 4:3 while the screen is 16:9. Currently the 4:3 resolution is handled as a 4:3 display by DVBViewer.

What I did was change the aspect ratio in DVBViewer to "NONE", and set the output of my NVidia MPEG Decoder filter to "RAW/Anamorphic". This way the picture is ALWAYS full screen, so your 16:9 would be OK. In the zoom settings, make different settings to adjust for 4:3, and 4:3 letterbox. The only disadvantage is that you will have to switch aspect ratio yourself rather than having DVBViewer control the output aspect ratio.
