| Post subject: | WMV Aspect Ratio |
This one is really weird. I don't normally play back wmv files, but am forced to (unless I re-encode I guess losing quality). All mkv/avi/whatever always plays back in the correct aspect ratio with the mplayer command line I have, but for some reason, 16:9 WMV files which are verified to be correct on windows play back unfortunately play back squashed 4:3. Again, this only happens on WMV files, all AVI/Matroska etc aspect ratios are always correct for the last 2 years. Where can I find settings to play with this without messing up my my other codecs? Regards, Ramrunner |

If all your WMV files play this way you might just force the setting for video wmv files to a different aspect ratio. Setup -> Media Settings -> Videos Settings -> File Types I don't have a setting for wmv on my 5.5 system so it looks like you will have to add one. Copy a working one that uses xine or mplayer-resumer.pl and search man for how to tweak the aspect ratio for the player that you choose. FYI: I had a similar problem with some mkv files and fiddled with this for hours. Though the aspect ratio was displayed correctly, I couldn't get it to play full screen, there was a black band top-bottom as well as left-right. I finally figured out that the video file actually had black padding bands on the sides so it was playing full screen all along. I found this out by playing it in a windowed player and noticed that there were bands on the sides that I couldn't get rid of by resizing. |

Setup -> Media Settings -> Videos Settings -> File Types Thanks mate, I didn't realise I could set the playback options on a per-file type basis. When I posed the question, I just remembered the generic mplayer options line I've edited a few times (for 16:9, AC3 etc). Annoying though! Like I said any other file type plays fine - just WMV is wrong even though they play back fine on Windows. I should be able to fiddle my way around this. Thanks again. Ed. |
