I work for a firm that rents large modular LED displays. Since they are made out of small modules, we can assemble them in any configuration we want (ie 3x3, 4x4, 4x6 etc). We use a pc controller with AV Manager software which we got with it. Now, I don't like this programme, since it's very buggy, and not too good with obscure formats.

I tried using MPlayer and Media Player Classic with ffdshow, and they work fine, but i have a problem. For a square configuration (4x4, 5x5etc) there are no problems, but if we assemble a rectangle formation (4X6, 3x5 etc) a part of the picture is missing in fullscreen mode.

I need a video player, similar to the two mentioned above in features, that has the option to manually enter the fullscreen resolution size.

Thanks in advance!

Try Zoom Player (http://www.inmatrix.com/files/zoomplayer_download.shtml)

With "+" you can make the picture bigger, with "-" you lower the size.
When you get the size right, you'll just have to make sure the aspect ratio is right. If it is not, you can cycle through the available ratios using the "R" key.
The "Custom" aspect ratio can be changed by entering the options panel (Ctrl+O). There click on "Switch to advanced mode", then go to Playback \ Video \ Presets \ Custom AR and change the width value (it should be 2.35 by default). For example, if you want the picture to fill 6x4 16:9 screens completely, you'll have to specify 2.67 as width (6x16 / 4x9 = 2.67) and then click on "Apply current".
