Suprised Re: video full screen stretch problem

using one of those programs you mentioned. use your monitor menu controls and move thoses borders out. your monitor has two settings. one for lets say Windows and one called A DOS Screen which is what we use for games mostly.

Re: video full screen stretch problem

Hi Erik,

I suggest the VLC media player. It's free, and very versatile.

When you use VLC, go to menu selection for Video, the drop down will have listing for aspect ratio (also cropping) you can experiment with them to see which meets your needs best.
