Stretched 4:3 vs Wide Angle

[zaldwaik]

Sorry, but I do not get it, stretching distorts the picture, why would anyone want that?

I am uploading a friendlier sample right now. My biggest surprise is that all of you have been able to convince your households to use pillar box. I've discussed this many friends and colleagues and I say the vast majority use full screen stretched 4x3 not pillar box.

@steeb for default default for stretch so for SD it would cycle through pillar box, wide angle, crop or pillar box, stretch, crop. I don't want I fourth option, it's a nuisance with 3 to get to crop as it is.

Ok here's the sample, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMKoxPuqsRk

1 - Original
2 - Stretched
3-5 Wide angle (4 and especially 5 angles are probably too much)

I find the fat Phoebe in #2 the most distorted.

Hi Martin,

Just saw your PM and this thread.. It looks very good especially if you'll add this feature as a command line option.

Was it implemented since then?

Thanks!

I am keeping this in my bag of tricks there were only a few votes, and fewer so based on general apathy, it is not worth pursuing this.
