annoying thing about vlc - subs can't appear in the black area below the movie which appears when playing widescreen movies in full screen mode.... vlc site admin: "it is very complex since, we have to Rework all the Video Out. So no, it is not planned yet."

annoying thing about gom - "GOM Player doesn't support languages that are displayed from right to left, and we do not have immediate plans to support them at this point."

ffdshow + mpc, no other choice for me..

Works better when forwarding through videos (faster and no breakup of the image). Looks a lot nicer out of the box. I've never even scratched the surface of VLC regarding it's advanced features, I just want a player that works well and looks good, and this fits the bill nicely.

Which languages are read from right to left in video release? I know some Asian texts are, but for video they are read from left to right.

Thanks but can someone still answer my question?

I am going to connect my laptop straight to my tv and I do have high-def videos. How do I set up GOM Player to play the videos in high-def on the tv?

Also.. howcome .mkv files don't play well in GOM Player?

I might try this player out. I recently tried out KMPlayer and I'm very happy with it. Is it easy to put the player in full screen mode? Anyone know how to do that with Windows Media Player 11? I always get the widescreen borders. I've been trying to find out forever! Where's the damn option to set it to 4:3?? lol

I'm not sure I understand the question... As long as your Laptop is set with the TV as the output, then you should be able to play the videos on the TV.

Right click on the video (or click on the "GOM" Icon in the top left) -> Aspect ratio -> 4:3(TV)

There are a huge amount of options in the context menu.

Shortcut = ctrl+f7

Or, if you meant zoom to get rid of bars, use the pan and scan options.

I Have been using GOM as my primary video player for ages now, the only codecs I have installed are quicktimeALT, and realALT. My favorite video player ever.

I am connecting my laptop to the tv and it can play fine. I am asking.. what settings should I use on GOM Player? Like 5.1 audio... or 16:9 (HDTV) or whatever else?

This all depends on the tv, and audio setup you are using. If you have a 5.1 system, then use 5.1 audio, if your screen is a different aspect ratio, you might need to change it. Trial and error is your friend.

I will probably try out Gom, but I'm really loving KMPlayer now that I'm getting a hang of the options. I know this isn't the right thread, but I was asking how to set Windows Media Player 11 to 4:3 aspect ratio? It annoys me how playing videos through it and Media Center always have the black bars. I cannot for the life of me find the video option to change the aspect ratio in Windows Media Player 11. Surely there is one, right??

Yeah. I set it to 16:9 video and 5.1 audio. What other options should I choose?

What output should I choose? Overlay Mixer... VMR9? or something else?

What else?

Don't worry about the renderer, it won't make a big difference. Whichever it defaults to on your machine should work fine.

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
