Yes, just grabbed one of youtube at 1280x720 and it still displays as boxed

When you view the video in windows media player or whatever, does it show the black bars? Its most likely due to how you are displaying the video through FSD. Check the settings such as stretch to fit, etc and make sure the video window covers the whole screen.

Yes it plays through win media player full screen just fine but this is how it looks. Doing my head now lol

check it in FSD and see what the size is at and what options are applied to that video.

So are you just replacing a video in a theme with your own video? The videos must be encoded different or something. You would need to open the theme file in xuitool and see how its handling the video.

This is exactly what is happening to me. How do we fix this ? I don't understand as well but I will try to look in to this as well. I know its not screen resolution because I ve tied 1280x720 1080x720 even 1980x1080 almost any screen size you can think of still failure. What is going on here.

After spending the last 24 hours trying to figure out why this was happening to me I got it. I don't Know exactly what it was, but here is what I did.

I used Any Converter Professional 3.0.1 for my formatting.

I used Xbox WMV Movie (*.wmv) as my format.
This is found in the top Right hand corner of the program in a window called profiles.

I then set the frame size to 1280x720 in the video options.
This will be found towards the bottom Right hand side of the program.

I then Left clicked on the options button at the bottom Left hand corner of the program.This opened up a options window with tabs.
I then Left clicked on the Video tab, and used only the following settings. So be sure to setup yours up the same as I did.

I used:

Video Driver: GL2

Encode Filters: Inverse Telecline (IVTC)

Video Resize: Fit To Height.

Audio/Video Sync: 0

Note: I had to check Fit to Height and then I unchecked the Expand To Frame.

Note my Video Bitrate was set to 1500. I really don't think this matters but not sure for I am still new to all this.

Anyways this is how I got it to work. I had tried and failed many of time using this program, But once I set it up with theese settings it worked perfectly for me anyways. So Im refering this information to try to help you and anyone else that runs in to this problem. Give it a shot and please let me know if this fixes your black border problems to.

I hope this helps as it took me a great struggle to figure this out myself.
