keeping aspect ratio between file changes

Postby Video_freek » 01 Aug 2009 00:53

Had a look through the forums, but could find anything that quite fits what im looking to do,
hopwfully someone will know how to do what I am trying to achive.

I want to be able to have a few tv episode's in the playlist to watch back to back, this aint a problem,
but each time the file changes, I loose my aspect ratio (16:9) and it drops back to being a normal window rather than fullscreen.
is there a way that I can set up and maintain an aspect ration and keep it full screen ?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give

Pete

:/ I've come to the forum for the first time today looking for an answer to this exact question. When watching 16:9 aspect ratio videos on a 16:9 second monitor full screen, the video will stay full screen even during file changes. However when watching 4:3 videos it'll return to original size on my primary monitor, is there a solution?

Thanks in advance

Video_freek: You can force default Aspect ratio from VLC settings (Tools -> Preferences... Show settings: All and Video)

schnorginator: there are certain limits to VOUT keeping so on some cases fullscreen playback cannot be kept on all video changes.
