You guys notice sometimes when you download files like avi, mpg or whatever, sometimes, you get black bars on the top and bottom?
I use Media Player Classic and it does have an option to remove black bars and show full screen using (stretch to window) in the video frame options, but this option doesn't always work, some of the videos will have black bars on top and bottom permanently and it's unchangable
and same goes for watching DVD's, i have a 4:3aspect ratio DVD, and my monitor is a "17 inch 16:10 lcd widescreen, but no matter what i do, I'll still see black bars on top and bottom.
so what I'm trying to say is are the black bars encoded in the videos so that you can't remove them? What about those dvd rips movies you download of the torrents, why don't they have black bars but the actual DVD's you buy do have the black bars?
