Aspect ratio for 16/9 TV I use BSplayer with a 16/9 TV. When I play a 16/9 movie, I have to select 4/3 aspect ratio to have a correct aspect ratio on my TV. But, most of the movies do not use 16/9 format, but some panoramic formats. So each time I want to play a movie, I have to calculate the aspect ratio of the movie, to convert it, to add the aspect ratio in the list, and to select it. It is bit long. Exemple : for a movie that use 1.85 aspect ratio. I have to multiply it by 0.75. The result is 1.3875, then I have to make a fraction with this number = 111:80 Could you add to the software an "original aspect ratio" corrected for 16/9 TV ? |

Meanwhile I calculated most common fractions to add in custom aspect ratios list. 640x272=30:17 640x352=255:187 640x270=16:9 576x240=27:15 576x304=27:19 576x320=27:20 576x256=27:16 512x224=204:119 512x272=24:17 512x288=4:3 608x256=57:32 544x304=51:38 528x288=11:8 704x384=11:8 592x256=111:64 not 100% sure of all |

This would be more than welcome addition to the program. This feature (Anamorphic Aspect Ratio) is the only reason I'm currently using Zoom Player. I'd change back to BSplayer in an instant with this feature

Adding anamorphic aspect ratio would make Bsplayer have all the features that I need. Now you have to always check the movie's resolution and manually choose the correct aspect ratio. It shouldn't need much work to be implemented. Just multiply the original aspect ratio by 0.75. |

The common cinema aspect ratio is actually 2.35:1. 11:5 = 2.20:1 For example: 576x240 = 2.25:1 576x256 = 2.40:1 Using the same anamorphic aspect ratio for these resolutions makes the picture look a little bit off. People look to skinny or fat etc... And a perfectionist like myself can't let that happen :) |

yep, i'm going to switch zoom player or media player classic http://sourceforge.net/projects/guliverkli/ which have this feature, sorry bs :(

i don't see what the problem is. i use a widescreen lcd (1280x768) and ratio for all the stuff are correct as long as you have keep aspect ratio on original. also 4:3 stuff in 0.8.x automatically stretches to full width and cuts off top and bottom (i like that), i use ffdshow filters to add borders to both sides if i need to see top and bottom stuff. in rc1, it's different. it stretches to height of monitor by default, not width. i don't like that. however you can do use pan now to stretch the screen horizontally. but this feature is not free of bugs and if you switch between fullscreen and window mode, the screen will get smaller and smaller until you can't see it anymore. |

I am still waiting this function for monthes. I do not understand why it is not still coded, it is just a multiplication by 0.75... But, as the version 1.0 is not as complete as previous one (I have desinstalled it after 10mn) , I think I will use soon another player. It is too bad. BSPlayer could have been the best player... |

Aspect Ratio for 16:9 TV's
I believe you can use DirectVobSob to partially overcome this problem. If you choose "Extend to 16:9" under the general tab and set to "Always load" instead of "Load when needed", it should add black bars to the top and bottom to conform with a 16:9 aspect ratio. Then it shouldn't be necessary to have more than one 16:9 aspect ratio in bsplayer. Just a theory ... haven't tried it.

Re: Aspect Ratio for 16:9 TV's Quote:
The reason you need to do this is because most videocards with tvout do not support widescreen tvs. They always send a 4:3 signal. However, most wide screentvs have an option to stretch the image to 16:9. So if you send a squeezed 4:3 signal it will look better when stretched back to 16:9 than if you send a 16:9 image with the black bars taking up most of the pixels. Classic Media Player has a 'scale to 16:9' option that does just that. I use it all the time. As noted earlier, calculating the proper ratio is very simple (just multiply with 0.75). I have a little toy calculator on my homepage (www.xs4all.nl/~jgurp/homepage) that can convert aspect ratios to their anamorhic equivalents. |

Aspect Ratios
I'm not talking about letterboxing... For 1.85:1 movies, if you disable aspect ratio's and "fit to screen" it will have the correct anamorphic representation and you will get the full vertical resolution. For 2.35:1 movies, you need to have black bars on top and bottom in order to conform to a 16:9 display device. The end result will still be anamorphic and you will not lose any vertical resolution. What I meant was that DirectVobSub would add borders to aspect ratio's > 1.85:1 so that the movie with "fit to screen/no aspect ratio" will be presented in correct anamorphic proportions. So in essence, it is about "adding bars" to the movie, if the movie is wider that 1.85:1. All anamorphic DVD's with an aspect ratio > 1.85:1 have also black bars encoded in the movie, for the same reason: Namely to conform to a 16:9 display device. But since I cannot get DirectVobSub to load under Zoom Player my suggestion was no good nevertheless. /Thomas

Aspect Ratios
Correction: What I meant in my last post was that I couldn't get DirectVobSub to load under BSPlayer, but I have gotten this setup to work (more or less) under Zoom Player. /Thomas

Aspect Ratios
I agree that implementing an anamorphic aspect ratio in bs-player would be the best solution all-round. I was merely proposing an alternate solution since anamorphic doesn't exist yet in bs-player. However I have gotten my setup to work very well. I haven't encountered any problems, and best of all, I don't have to change aspect ratio at any time. I can just leave "aspect ratio'ing" off. /Thomas

Re: Aspect Ratios Quote:
I am currently working on a launcher that will create an ini file and launch automaticaly the movie in its correct aspect ratio. I will use two methods : - theorical correction taking into account the desktop resolution (the correction is not the same for 720x576 or for 768x576) and TV format (4/3 or 16/9) - visual correction : a circle will be display on screen, and you will calibrate the correction with a trackbar until the circle will be really a circle. That will correct too the distorsion caused by bad settings of your TV. |
