Hello Readers,
It's still about the aspect ratio issues with Sony models.
I've been using for several months this great soft in using 4:3 aspect ratio screen (Transcoder - Framesize) into watch with a proper ratio the movies on my Sony 40HX700.
Now I just upgraded it in 1.07 and the isn't possible anymore to "cheat" and get a transcoding aspect ratio output into 4:3.
So I'm back to the previous situation whith a "squeezed image on screen".
I've almost tried everything, without any success.
My father has an Sony 40NX700. And it's the same problem...
I'm thinking about re-get the previous 1.05 version into fix this.
Thanks for any helps or similare experiences!
Another question: is there anyone working on a French translation ?

Hello Eugene,
Can't download on the web site a full 1.05 package (only upgrade kit that i can't open)..

Much Thanks

Make sample with aspect 16:9, check playback via USB, send to Sony support.sysrage wrote: What is the CORRECT way to get videos to play in the correct aspect ratio on this TV?
Re: Sony 55EX505 - Transcoding Aspect Ratio
I have the same problems again and I always thought it was a bug Sony introduced after the last firmware update.Eugene wrote:Make sample with aspect 16:9, check playback via USB, send to Sony support.sysrage wrote: What is the CORRECT way to get videos to play in the correct aspect ratio on this TV?
Gonna try the older ffmpeg now.
Re: Sony 55EX505 - Transcoding Aspect Ratio
This problem is only on Sony TVs 2010, using a 4:3 aspect it is still the wrong way.sysrage wrote:Eugene, thank you for your response. Does this mean if I play a 16:9 aspect video hooked into the USB port of the TV I'll also see screwed up aspect ratios and I should report this to Sony as a bug on their end? I did try the old ffmpeg and it does indeed fix my problem. Your response sounds like this is possibly due to Sony screwing up. Is this correct? Thanks again.Eugene wrote:Make sample with aspect 16:9, check playback via USB, send to Sony support.sysrage wrote: What is the CORRECT way to get videos to play in the correct aspect ratio on this TV?
Perhaps this is a problem of transcoder, so it's best to explore this issue, using different converters in the same frame size and the same video encoding.
Re: Sony 55EX505 - Transcoding Aspect Ratio
Another solution, might be to work
Settings - Transcoder - Profiles - Movies (primary) - Edit - Transcoding parameters - right click - "Select All" - Delete
Ok-Ok-Ok
Settings - Transcoder - Profiles - Movies (primary) - Edit - Transcoding parameters - right click - "Select All" - Delete
Code: Select all
IfThen(mpInternetItem,
WmsTranscodingProfileParams('Internet-television'),
IfThen(mpSubItemsCount > 0,
WmsTranscodingDvdParams,
WmsTranscodingInputParams + WmsTranscodingVideoParams + ' -vf "aspect=4:3"' +
WmsTranscodingMapParams(mpAudioStreamNo)))
Re: Sony 55EX505 - Transcoding Aspect Ratio
Thanks for information. Yes, use new features of transcoder for set aspect ratio 4:3, the old, unfortunately, does not work.sysrage wrote:That worked! With the newer ffmpeg and these settings, videos seem to be in the correct aspect ratio. Do you mind explaining what exactly this is doing? Is this forcing 4:3 for every video?
I will try to include a fix to the next version of the transcoder.
I think the original problem in the profile of DLNA, used MPEG_PS_PAL (720x576), may help to change the profile of DLNA in program settings for the mpg-files, but no suitable.
