Flash Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I have some anime at 1280x720 , normal makes it too big such that the video looks a bit zoomed into. The edges are cut off. Is there really no way to make it stretch to full screen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popisdead uk Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Press Triange, and look for the screen size option :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted April 7, 2008 Author Share Posted April 7, 2008 That's what I'm refering to, there's only normal size and original. Normal makes everything too big, original is too small since the resolution is 1280x720 and there's a big black frame around it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted April 7, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted April 7, 2008 When it plays on the PC does it have borders? Most HD rips (720p and 1080p) have borders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the avi's you have are meant to have the borders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin001 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 is all depends on the video...the ps3 just does the best it can but also keepin everything in the right aspect ratio! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coldgunner Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I think the OP was refering to the slight overscan effect the ps3 has on divx etc, even through HDMI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julius Caro Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I thought overscan was the TV's fault? I have three size options I guess. The actual size one that puts a ridiculously small video in the middle of the 1080-lines image, another one that is the zoomed-up version (centered, I suppose, without modifying the aspect ratio) and another one that fits the video into the 16:9 screen (screwing the aspect ratio). At least the last two are pretty normal. If the video is already a 16:9, these last two options should look almost exactly the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matrix XII Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I didn't even know the PS3 had .avi playback. I plugged in a flash drive with some anime on it the other day and it couldn't recognize them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the video is already a 16:9, these last two options should look almost exactly the same Take a 16:9 video, play it at original size, pick a part of the edge of the picture and return to full screen, it chops of a small bit, this does not happen on dvd's, bd's and dloaded mp4's.

Put in memory stick, press triangle on memory stick icon, select display all and viola! PS3 only automatically recognises video etc if put in the right folder, i.e: .../VIDEO .../MUSIC .../PHOTO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted April 7, 2008 Author Share Posted April 7, 2008 When it plays on the PC does it have borders?Most HD rips (720p and 1080p) have borders. When I full screen on PC there's only a very small black bar top and bottom, while keeping the right aspect ratio on my 16:10 monitor. PS3 either makes it too big like a zoom effect or too small with black borders around it. I will try messing with my TV aspect ratio later to see what I can get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mines does under "Display Area". By default my TV was on "Normal". Putting it on "Full Pixel" made things better for the PS3 over 1080p. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnzoFX Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I didn't really understand the issue, but the content is 720p, and you want it to look its best on a 16x10 monitor? Your going to have black bars due to the different aspect ratios. Seems like that's the best option, Zoom in too much and you lose some of the image.

Xero Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Its because the aspect ratio is different on your tv than in the video. It extends more to maintain the same aspect ratio. At least from the pics thats what it looks like I haven't messed around too much with the PS3 video playback. One thing that always ****ed me off with videos and the PS3 is there is no progress bar, how the hell am I supposed to know where I am or how much further I need to go when fast forwarding or rewinding.

The PS3 is doing the cutting If you cut a small sample off the file, say 10-20 seconds of playback, I'll try it out on my TV and see if it does the same!
