Hi

Is there a way you can change the aspect ratio on Windows Media Player? My camcorder takes videos in 16:9 but WMP plays them in 4:3 or 5:4 (not sure which).

Anyone know anything about this? Huh

I don't know about Windows Media Player specifically, but I do know that in a free alternative known as VLC player you can indeed change the aspect ratio. It also supports a greater number of codecs than Windows Media Player.

I think Media Player Classic (which comes with the K-Lite codec pack) also allows this resolution. Much faster and smoother than Win MP Wink
