So when I had Visa, all my Mkv, avi files played widescreen. Black bards on bottom and top. Yeah..you know. I liked it.
But now when I have windows 7, each of my players play my videos full screen, like a square box that stretches when I go full screen. I use VLC or Media player classic. I ratther use media player classic because it plays mkv files in better quality.
So my question is, anybody know whats the problem? I'm asking for help, to see how can I play my videos in widescreen again.

Ok, I may have your solution (may)...

You need to go to the ATI/AMD website. You need more than just the driver. You, also, need the \"Full Catalyst Suite\" & that is what will give you the CCC (Catalyst Control Centre).

Top of the page - http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx

Thanks

I'm talking about when you play videos on a media player. Wide screen. Like a movie. wide screen is better then full screen while your watching a movie right?

Depends on the format. Haven't you noticed how people's faces are often either fat or thin when stretched or narrowed on a screen that did not fit the format it was created in?

Widescreen is when the movie fills the entire screen.

Black bars means it's in letterbox format

That's why i previously mentioned it depends on the height and width of the movie.

If your playing DVD or Blue-ray movies, you should have no problem. And no black bars
