Default Re: Possible solution for the aspect ratio?

Test cards are long gone here in denmark.

And just to add further, I don't have any possible way to play over a file on my television at all.

Do you have a DVD player to your TV and a computer with a DVD burner? If so you can burn this disc image, it is the 16:9 BBC test card.

That doesn't look too bad. There's no "cropping" of the picture. You could try increasing the width and height so that the picture fills the whole screen, but make sure the squares remain square and the circle remains a circle.

The BBC test card has arrows denoting the edge of the picture.

All the squares. The grid if you like.

If you increase just the height or just the width, the squares will become oblongs and the circle will become an oval. You need to increase both.

For some unfortanly reason the picture is cropped at the left side of those color squares so i cant correctly use it.

Oh, and i forgot to tell that the provider who gives me tv and internet had taken my idea and could see a working purpose of haveing a test pattern channel so it wil be maybe possible to not need a video sometime in the future.

What happens if you reduce the width? Do the half squares at the edge become full ones?
