Often I have to watch videos from different sources and aspect ratios on my fixed 16:10 TV.
The problem is usualy to keep the original aspect ratio of the movies, but fill the available screen area - even if it results in some clipping.
For a 4:3 movie (with auto I have pillarbox on the sides) this would actually mean to stretch the horizontal size to fill the screen width, stretch the vertical size with the same ratio and then clip the bottom and the top of the movie.
For a 16:9 movie (with "Auto" I have a letterbox at the top and the bottom) this would actually mean to stretch the vertical size to fill the screen height, stretch the horizontal size with the same ratio and then clip the left and the right of the movie.
At the moment I had to set up different Aspect ratios in the ini file for all original aspect ratios. My son does it touch of a finger on his ipod touch...
Is it already possible with a touch of an INI code or is it a wish?
