display videos aspect ratio 16:9 vs. 4:3

Post by HoM »

Hi everybody,

I am new to XnView and I am really impressed from the great funtionality given with this tool.

However: I found a shortcoming with videos: I have some of them in 16:9 aspect ratio. sometimes XnView displays the right ration (e.g. in the preview that is displayed when a mpg file gets selected) but not if you double click it or display it in a bigger window.

Anything I can configure, to show the files in the right ration?`

Best regards and mery chrismas

Sorry, took some time.

Here are two screenshots:

First shows the video after being selected as a preview. Here it is correct as 16:9

Dbl Clicking the preview opens the file in an new window and ... its 4:3 !

I can't reproduce this strange bug. Do you have it always? With all videos?
