Command line aspect ratio question

Postby jomny » 12 May 2008 18:26

I'm having a little trouble with some command line arguments, and while I have gotten most of what I'm looking for I cannot get the aspect ratio command to work. Here is what I am currently entering:

./VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC "/mnt/scratch/users/frontrow/desktop/loop.mpg" "--fullscreen" "--video-on-top" "--loop" "--aspect-ratio 16x9"

This works without the aspect ratio command, for some reason I cannot get the info for that correct and it gives me an error about the aspect ratio flag. What is the correct way to enter this?

Thanks for the help!
