I recently bought used an Asrock 330 that I thought I would try as an HTPC. I have converted a ton of BR to mkv and put on a server (naslite). Everything plays back superbly!!! Love it. However, is there a way to tell MPC to size my videos appropriately? I would like it to display just what the movie aspect ratio is. MPC has a bunch of pan and scan options as well as options for sizing such as "normal size" "half size" "stretch to window", etc. Is there a way to set this up properly from the start so that I see the whole movie on my 32" LCD (or 50" plasma) or do I need to resize at the start depending on what is playing?
thanks for any advice.

Video Frame -> Touch Window From Inside
Video Frame -> Keep Aspect Ratio
Video Frame -> Override Aspect Ratio -> Default -
thanks...this should work for everything? See all video?

It will work for all video with proper aspect ratio settings. And all the filters in the chain must pass the AR flags. If the video was encoded improperly or has the wrong AR flags it will not work.

hmmm....I made the MKVs, so encoding done. I use mkvmerge and sent in the aspect ratios in the meta data.
how do the media tanks do this so you do not need to alter anything?

What do you mean by "media tank" ?
Are you streaming this? I'm not familiar with "naslite". Some software won't accept AR flags in the mkv container.
The other option would be to encode AR information into the elementary stream. And option 3 would be to resize and encode 1:1 which should always display properly -
@jagaboo
I noticed that some of the video seemed to be cropped either at top or bottom. Will check when I get some. Perhaps my LCD needs to be looked at as well.

a media tank is a networked media tank (forgot the network in my original post), such as popcorn hour, iobox, tvix, etc.'Do I look absolutely divine and regal, and yet at the same time very pretty and rather accessible?' - Queenie
