Tried converting a 1920x1080 video to 1280x720 for the webtop to Plasma conversion. Video plays fine, however, if I leave the height set to 720, both TVs get about an inch of picture cut off. I had to manually set the conversion resolution to 1280x700 for it to work.
Why would this be?

Hi, I have been encoding my videos with sompy and I have been using 320 x 240 as the encoding settings however when i goto full screen I have black bars... when I play a file that has not been encoded for a smaller resoultion when I go full screen and check the option to fit to screen I get full screen with no bars... what encoding options should I use to not get bars in full screen mode?
im playing with tcpmp..
any ideas what optimal settings would be?
I use an iBook and there is a freeware called HandBrake. I adjust to 320x240 and encode to mp4 and aac audio. It'll take a DVD down to about a 1 gig. It's the same process I use for my iPod video and I get the same quality out of my Prophet and Wizard (OC'd to 240) using TCPMP w/aac plugin for playback as I do w/my iPod. Full screen and perfect quality.
Ok so I converted Batman Begins straight from DVD to 800x480 resolution using Aimersoft Video Converter Ultimate. I Converted it to an mp4 as xvid as the encoder. I've also tried H.264 as the encoder as well. I have tried everything to get the video to expand to the edges like the transformers movies did. I had kumar's lite rom but then switched to NRG's rom and its still doing it. I messed with the settings in the TCPMP player to see if I could force it to expand but it keeps staying cropped. I've included a sample pic to show you guys. Any help would be awesome!
*edit* after looking at the viewable size of the movie in the pic vs my screen size I would have to say its about the same size. But when you look at my screen as its playing the movie, it doesn't look that wide at all.
855-480 res with 16:9 aspect ratio?
ok sweet I think I figured it out. Another question. Looking at the size of the transformers movies (around 1.2gb each) and looking at the quality of the video, how could I make my rips the same quality but retain the same size of video?
.mp4 high quality codec try that setting
how did you figure out to get around the cropping?
I use core player and play movies. wmplayer does not do it for me. I use to convert movies for my omnia but you can adjust the aspect ratio on the fly. I usually do 16:9 but on the hd2 I have been choosing "fit to screen" and there is no cropping.
I want to be able to temporarily set my Nexus 10 to render the desktop at 16:9 instead of 16:10 so that when I hook it up to a 16:9 tv via hdmi, it doesn't need to scale the image down and add black bars on the sides. Is there any way to do this? Perhaps an option on a custom rom?
On a CM 10.1 thread, a recognized developer posted some modified files to get 1280x800 resolution or something like that. Not exactly 16:9, but perhaps a similar method could be made to get such a resolution.
I don't know what thread in-particular exactly :/
Aspect ratio has nothing to do with your TV either processing or not processing the image. Unless you are outputting the exact resolution your TV uses then it will always run the input through its scaler. And even if you do run the exact resolution, you still have the other processing the TV does, and very few models of TV's allow you to completely disable this extra processing. You may be able to get rid of most or all of the black bars simply by running a 16:9 aspect ratio, but unless you also run the exact resolution then you will still have processing done by the scaler on your TV.
I'm aware of that, but at least by making sure the signal I'm outputting through the HDMI cable is the same aspect ratio as the TV, it should ensure that the TV's scaler fits the final picture to the screen without any unnecessary black bars, and that's all I care about. It would be nice if Android had an option to specify the exact resolution it outputs through HDMI instead of just duplicating the res of the main screen, but in the absence of that option, I'm looking for a solution to at least get the aspect ratio right.

Mxplayer is implementing the same thing google play movies has where it will go into "hdmi mode"...
I know this isn't a full fix but it will be awesome for movies...
The exynos5 dual supports simultaneous native wqxga (2560x1600) and 1080p at 60fps through hdmi so it should be posdible to scale...
Mabey key lime pie will fix? Well see
Hello!
i am using my nexus player on a 720p TV but i am not viewing the complete image, it truncates the image, like if the nexus player is fixed at 1080p so the image received through HDMI is 1080p, but the TV is only able to display a part of it, (centered)
i installed xbmc/kodi and it also does not let me change the output resolution, also says 1080p (though it has the option but is read-only)
there's no option to change the output resolution manually
any help?
Currently there's no way to change the output resolution, but I should add that the Nexus Player always renders at 1080p internally, and then scales when it goes to output over HDMI. So, even if you're outputting at 720p, XBMC will report that you are rendering at 1080p.
Have you confirmed via your TV's display info that you're actually getting a 1080p input signal? If you're just getting overscan at 720p, that's expected and all the native apps are (supposed to be) designed to handle a 10% picture loss. Are you only noticing things cut off in XBMC, or are you missing parts of the screen in the rest of Android as well?
I didn't noticed until I started installing apps. all sideloaded apps have missing parts, Chrome, Sideload Launcher, xbmc, File Commander, etc...
WORKED!
thanks xBIGREDDx, my TV settings where wrong, it was set to Zoom instead of scale to fit.
hi, how to change the screen size from 4:3 to 16:9 on the nexus player? any help
If your display is always showing as 4:3, then use your TV settings to change the aspect ratio. This can usually be done with your TV's remote.
there should be an internal way, if I use the setup of the TV image is stretched and that not great at all

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
There isn't any resolution settings on the Nexus Player, it's made to output 1080p
If the image has a bad ration or isn't clear/crisp it is a TV or receiver issue or setting.
many people with larger tv's have this problem. the solution is to run the overscan launcher. worked for others but not for me. i couldn't get it to run.
