No. There is only 2 ways to do it and both are dumb. Crop the video. Stretch the video. Cropping makes you lose a bunch of the image. While stretching the image distorts the aspect of the video and you end up making everything look really wide. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moodkiller Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 3. Change (override) the aspect ratio in your media player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the same as stretching/condensing the video. So it's doesn't get it's own number. You change 4:3 to 16:9 you're gonna get some short yet wide people. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catar Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 stuff like this is one of the reasons I'm looking forward to more widespread adoption of OLED. When people can't even see the black bars on the sides of 4:3 video I think they may be less likely to complain. but then again that's horribly optimistic and I should know better by now...

Your instructions were unclear earlier (I had in my head that you were suggesting re encoding the video to a different aspect ratio). Also you tend to get used to it if you watch the whole series at once... Honey and Clover comes to mind. IMPO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I find leaving it as/is or adding borders or pillars is the best since changing the AR outside of adding pillars just doesn't look right.

Nardlen Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 Sometimes a file will be a little larger than 640 x 480 and it'll look distracting to me, so I change it to be 4:3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(Kirito) Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 Generally, I stretch it to 18:9 aspect ratio cos that's the size my smartphone display has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deusxanime Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 If the file is just encoded with a bad/wrong aspect ratio, I've found the fastest and easiest way is to just open it up with MKVToolNix (or use it to remux and do the following, if it isn't already an MKV file) and force the aspect ratio you want in the video stream parameters. The is basically instantaneous and doesn't degrade the quality by adding yet another generation of encoding to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
