aspect ratio doesnt change

[stefan]

Yes, but it does not have to be something that supports aspect ratio change...

[ryboto]

so, I need to download a software decoder? what's a popular one that will support the change in aspect ratio?

[stefan]

Not sure... I knowPurevideo does... and I think cyberlink and intervideo do too...

[Ted the Penguin]

I use ... mainconcept now, I think, I need to change my codecs around soon, but there are a bunch of free codec packs out there, I have never had a problem changing aspect ratio, I have used intervideo, cyberlink, dscaler, and a bunch more, when I was trying to get rid of tearing before I realized it was my friggn video card

[stefan]

It could also be that one uses a decoder that locks aspect ratio. Purevideo, for example, has a setting that locks aspect ratio, and then gbpvr can ask for new aspect ratios for all it's worth; nothing will happen anyway.

how can i determine what my system default is?? obviously I must have a decoder installed if I'm able to watch mpeg2 video, and live tv on gbpvr.

I can't select anything other than system default. How does gb-pvr work if I have no mpeg2 decoder installed?? the system default must be something.

If its not listed, but managing to work, then this means you have an MPEG2 decoder installed, but its not a common one, and not confirmed as working with GB-PVR.

The decoders GB-PVR that have been tested with GB-PVR, and confirmed to have worked correctly include:

bitcontrol® MPEG-2 Video Decoder,DScaler Mpeg2 Video Decoder,CyberLink DTV Video Decoder,InterVideo NonCSS Video Decoder for Hauppauge,InterVideo Video Decoder,CyberLink Video/SP Decoder (ATI),CyberLink Video/SP Decoder (PDVD7),NVIDIA Video Decoder,CyberLink Video/SP Decoder,Elecard MPEG2 Video Decoder,Moonlight-Elecard MPEG2 Video Decoder,MainConcept MPEG Video Decoder,MainConcept (Hauppauge) MPEG Video Decoder,Sonic Cinemaster® DS Video Decoder,Zulu HDTV Video Decoder(BDA),Nero Video Decoder,GPL MPEG-1/2 Decoder,MPV Decoder Filter

how can i determine what my system default is??

You can see its name listed in the gbpvr.exe-native.log, under the text "Graph contains the following filters:"

Its obviously not one of the common decoders I've listed above, so if its not working well for you, then I suggest you try one of these other decoders.

thanks for the info
