Front Rows movie aspect ratio????

[krissvl]

Hi people,

i really like the Front Row, i dont have a problem with it accept its not very customisable.... i want to stretch a video to reach full full screen rather than preserving the aspect ratio, i think its a waste of space on my LCD TV to have black bars at the top and bottom. anyone have any idea as to achieve this?

for life!!!!

That has to do with the size of your screen. I've you'd have a screen big enough it would fill it completely.

I don't know if you have Leopard but if you have do, you can make completely fullscreen in Quicktime (first enter fullscreen than in the control bar there is a button for it.
Don't think Frontrow has that option.

Ok ill try this i dont mind moving the picture out of proportion i have a true 16:9 tv which i use as an external monitor, but some movies i 'legally' download are made into super widescreen. i want to stretch this out in front row.

Yeah I know exactly what you mean I have the same thing with Frontrow on my 20" iMac.
The tv shows that I "legally" download are close to fullscreen, but the movies that I download are a lot wider which is dumb, cuz I waste a lot of space on the screen.

yeah what can we do? i usually use VLC media player and change the aspect ratio to 16:9 and that stretches it out. i dont mind loosing the proportion if it means not wasting space on the external monitor.... someone help?
