Aspect Ratio Problem

**nitramf** · 04-05-2009, 04:10 PM

Hello!

I have a aspect Ratio problem.

The user of the following video uploaded his video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-y9zfa05YI to my site: http://speedriding-videos.com/view/52/speedeeridn1/

here is the source: http://speedriding-videos.com/video/couloir_espanol.mov

Watch only the beginning. The font is cutted out.

What is the problem here?

Here is the convert log:

I have only changed the bitrate for a better quality.

Is that maybe a general Vshare Problem?

**bplex** · 04-07-2009, 07:45 AM

Your problem is happening because the default installation of vShare uses the "display height" attribute. This attribute takes the video and only displays so much of it. If you remove that attribute from your player.inc file, you should be able to see the full video regardless of your player's size.

Hello!

this has not worked.
http://speedriding-videos.com/view/52/speedeeridn1/

If I open the video the video has the right size and 1 second later it is oversized. Can I set the witdh parameter of the player to "auto"?

simply change your encoding parameters to keep the videos at their normal ratio's

What parameters I do must insert there?

**bplex** · 04-07-2009, 09:38 PM

I don't know if there is a width=auto function. Check the JW Player manual on what you will need to do that.

As for the parameters, you will need to check the mencoder manual on what parameters you need to tell it to keep the aspect ratio as I do not have that information off hand.
