The VideoLAN Forums

I’m afraid I’m confused about how to use this menu item. What I’d like to do is select an aspect ratio for a particular file, and then have that aspect ratio apply each time I open that file. When I choose an aspect ratio, it doesn’t stick, so I have to choose it again each time I open that file. Thank you for any help you can give me.

I agree with the OP. I'd even settle for the aspect ratio staying the same in a single session. Currently, if I have multiple items in the playlist and set the aspect ratio for one or more of the videos and choose Lock Aspect Ratio, the aspect ratio resets when I cycle through the list.
