Hello,

So I've been havin' a great time with this software! Very little trouble with it so far. But I just bought a V-4 mixer, and the output is displaying black bars surrounding the image. I didn't encounter that when i was outputting direct out of the S-Video port on my dell XPS laptop.

The video clips I am using are 720x480 mjpeg files using the codec from my matrox rtx. 100 card. They work beautifully. Just curious how to remove the bars. Can't seem to find a zoom feature within the V-4 yet.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jon

first of all. are you working in europe ? because pal video is 720*576, that means 4:3, better use 400*300, 640*480 or 800*600.
resolume should resize your videos automatical to the output resolution. the output resolution should be 800*600 or pal.
to resize the output of your graphiccard, go to the setings, there you can resize the output.

thanks a lot! I was panicing, cause I have a gig tomorrow.

I was able to zoom through the graphics card to make it fit properly.

This was in regards to a NTSC signal in the states. Still unsure why it was outputting at a different resolution after all this time working correctly. ah well. works now! thanks!
