1470028 2020-07-02 21:12:00 One very good feature about MPC-HC ( which many don't know about) is when playing a Video, if there's black space at either the top/bottom or sides you can use the numeric keys to adjust the black out so it goes full screen.

Eg: 8 & 2 make the video wider /narrower (Vertical) while 4 & 6 make it wider /narrower (horizontal)

1470030 2020-07-03 22:47:00 Try alt+enter zqwerty (97)
1470031 2020-07-03 22:55:00 Try alt+enter That only goes to full screen, not what I was referring to.

Here's what I was describing, I changed the 1st before shot and exaggerated the black boarders by pulling them in tapping #2 then #4, then adjusted them out using 6 & 8 as mentioned.

With Black Boarders:
10412

Boarders removed:
10413

When in full screen, it can cover the whole screen.

1470032 2020-07-03 23:07:00 Heres a better comparison, same shot with black boarders and then adjusted out.

1470033 2020-07-03 23:55:00 Have to go out now, but that doesn't work for me, just looses the border than no further changes with any of the number controls mentioned, definitely not altering aspect ratio.

Maybe I am not pressing the correct buttons.

Don't see how one can improve on full screen windowshade without distorting the spheres in the movie or whatever.

1470034 2020-07-04 02:05:00 Don't see how one can improve on full screen windowshade without distorting the spheres in the movie or whatever. Some movies do distort more than others. Usually though you can get a happy medium.

The biggest effects are on TV's, depending on the size of the TV and aspect ratio, and the films. Some of the movies that are in 16:9 have huge black lines top and bottom, some don't.

Here for example is a clip, on a Std PC Monitor with the black lines there and removed.

Each to their own, but there's been some movies that have black bars covering 1/3 of the screen :yuck:

1470035 2020-07-04 09:30:00 With MPC-HC you also have these Height/Width and other adjustments in the right click
on screen menu. Select "Pan & Scan" for the list of adjustments.
