Black Bars on Video Removal

augman000 · 12th June 2007, 01:38

Ok, I got everything working with interlacing and all of that perfectly on Media Player Classic. The only problem now is that my VOB's have black bars on the left and right sides. What I want to do is somehow adjust or zoom the video or something so that those black bars on the sides disappear. Here's a screenshot of a video i'm referring to.

Any filters or something I could use or do to fix this? ALso note that I want this to be fixed in fullscreen because that's the only way I watch my videos.

Thanks

The + and - keys on your numpad zoom in and out, in Media Player Classic.

Ok, but what a video like this one that is all the way to the left and has one big bar on the right

How do I fix that while in playback? Even if it means not using Media Player Classic i dont particularly care so much.

Oops, I was wrong in my last post. The keys for zoom in and zoom out are NUMPAD9 and NUMPAD1. There are also keys for shifting the video left, right, up and down. Options -> Player -> Keys shows you your current key assignments, and lets you change them.

@kumi

So could I re-encode these VOB's without loosing quality but or changing anything but just fixing those black bar issues?

You could, but they wouldn't be DVD compliant anymore (ie, you couldn't burn them back to disc) and it would take hours. So you might as well re-encode them to xvid/divx/x264 while you're at it.
