Windows media player

[Ludde]

Hi
I exported a mpeg2 from procoder express ( 16:9 ) it plays ok with vlc media player, and with sonic dvdit pro 6.1, but it plays as 4x3 with windows media player, am I doing something wrong exporting it, it is from an hdv timelime to sd 16:9 target ?

this is normal with older media players

the latest WMP11 with latest updates displays the Procoder m2v as 16:9

[Ludde]

Hmm, it is wmp 11 ?

[antonsvideo]

hmm, works fine here

make sure you go to ProCoder advanced settings and enable the 16:9 flag

I used the procoder express wizard, I have the option to set the stream as 4x3 or 16x9, nothing more, and I sat it as 16x9 ?

Windows Media Player 11

Older WMPers letterboxed 16:9.

what version Edius are you using? maybe your version does not set the 16:9 flag correctly

I tested with ProCoder3, I will test with Express later today, but I have an older version of Edius, see signature

can you encode one second as 16:9 and email it to me

ok, done the test with PCE and all is well, 16:9 looks 16:9 in media player 11

note my edius version in signature

Hi Anton I am using 4.52 Pro, However I sent you an email containing some video *m2v, maybe you can see what is wrong ? Thanks !!

the clip you sent me is 16:9 and plays 16:9 in my media player 11
version 11.0.5721.5145

maybe you need to go to windows update and choose custom, then look for media player related updates

Thanks for trying, then I know it is a wmp thing !!

do you have PowerDVD or WinDVD? play the file and see if it plays 16:9

maybe your media player is missing a codec? installing PowerDVD should fix that
