1.78:1 Aspect Ratio - fill screen won't work

[TihomirMucko 0]

Hello,

when I try to change the aspect ratio on a 1.78:1 movie from "auto" to "fill" or "cover", nothing happens, the black bars on top and bottom remain.

Is there a way to stretch the picture and "fill" the screen, or is it some error perhaps?

On movies with different aspect ratios, 2.35:1 for example, the "fill" works perfect, so it's wondering me why it won't work on 1.78:1.

Thanks for the help and eventual update in advance!

Kind regards.

Hi, most likely the bars are part of the video itself and so that's why this is happening.

Thanks for the quick response.

I also assumed that, and probably that's the case.

But wouldn't it be nice to have an option to also stretch 1.78:1 aspect ratio movies? 

I know there's a possibility to distort the picture a little bit, but that's then for the viewer to decide.

An option to mannually adjust the picture to fill up the screen, or fit to full screen for 1:78:1 movies would really be apreciated.

A TV screen is 1.78:1, so if the movie is 1.78:1 it's already filling the screen. There's nothing more to be done.
