You can crop it to another aspect ratio in VLC I believe.
Ive never heard of VLC before. What are the benefits of using that media player? Again, bare with me, Im still learning when it comes to manipulating digital video media. I dont know quite how to ask this question, but what exactly happens if I crop or squeeze the TN1 movie into a scope format? Will I indeed get the desired result or be wasting my time?
VLC has very high compatibility compared to many media players. It does allow you to crop however many pixels you want off of any edge (not sure if that answers your original request or not).
Thanks dude. Not sure if I was understood though. Do you understand what I was asking? When you watch a typical blu-ray on either your tv or projector, youre really not getting the most out of your display. all that black on top and bottom is wasted pixals and wasted light, or lack of. If you watch the movie thats in the 2.35:1 AR that has roughly 1920x820 pixals, youre not getting the true benefit of your viewing medium. If you have a scope source, then using your projector with an anamorphic lense project it, you will have more light and more pixals and a better movie viewing experience. Since the whole point of TN1’s endeavor was to give us the closest thing to experiencing SW as it wouldve looked back in the day, I was hoping to go one step further and add to it.
Thats why I asked what was the original source print. Was it scope, flat etc? I just want to know if its possible to change the MKV file to a scope AR, basically sqush it to a square or a 16x9 AR, then let my projector stretch it back out and get more bang for my buck.Im sorry if Im not quite articulating exactly what Im trying to say.
