How to set resolution default?

[terrypin]

Hi,

I changed my preferred player from MPC-HC to MPC-BE a year or two ago and don't recall getting the following issue before.

I recorded a few videos on my iPad, uploaded them to my Win 10 PC, and rotated and cropped them in my video editor. They play back correctly in other players such as MPC-HC, VLC, Films & TV, WMP, PotPlayer, etc. But in MPC-BE the opening resolution is always distorted: squashed downwards. To get it right I have to use PanScan > Scale to 16:9 TV.

How do I make this setting stick, i.e. become the default please?

BTW, oddly, if I take a still image from MPC-BE, that views OK, e.g in IrfanView, at the correct resolution of 1920 x 1440.

sample?
mpc-be honours cropping information so if you set them up wrongly other player may ignore them.

Thanks. Here's the smallest:

MPC-BE is the only one of five players I tried that needed adjustment before playing correctly.

mpc-hc and mpc-be play it back the same way for me.

plays correct in mpc-be for me.

The video isn't cropped though. You have to apply PnS widescreen zoom to display it fullscreen in 16/9 without top black bars (the source content is 4/3). Works in mpc-hc (evr-cp).
Width : 1 440 pixels
Height : 1 920 pixels
Display aspect ratio : 0.750
Rotation : 270°

If possible avoid setting rotation, your file will be better supported if further processing is needed.

Why not simply download the 720p file from YouTube?

Thanks. All attempts to reply fail with some pesky message about being 'timed out', so I give up. Anyway, this presumably won't get sent either!

to bad may the inet be with you.

edit:
there some renderer that can't handle this what renderer where you using?
