paokun Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Hi everyone, I need to play a video stream ASX file, of course the default player for it is WMP, however the image is in 16:9 but WMP stretches it to 4:3. Too bad! I tried with Real Player, the video streams fine but again, I can't resize its aspect ratio. MediaPlayerClassic is my favourite video player and would allow me to resize the video aspect ratio, however it crashes when opening any ASX file (becuase it relies on Real Alternative). Quicktime cannot open ASX files, no luck with VLC player, MPlayer and Zoomplayer either. Anyone knows any other video player that can handle ASX files and allows me to change the video aspect ratio? Thanks for any suggestion :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/642470-which-video-player-can-play-asx-files-and-change-the-aspect-ratio/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it's on their end, but probably it would take quite some time before they fix it and I usually prefer fixing things 'myself' ;) Quite bad WMP doesn't allow changing the aspect ratio of ASX files. The error code I get with MPC is 0x0000005 The problem with MPC is that it relies on RealMedia or QuickTime settings, it doesn't work on its own, so I'm not surprised it doesn't work.

Roger H. Veteran Posted June 10, 2008 Veteran Share Posted June 10, 2008 640 x 480 that's the feed information i get from it. So that's 4:3. It's not coming in 16:9 for sure.

It's not coming in 16:9 for sure. yep i know, that's why i need a player that can resize a video without worrying about the aspect ratio. both wmp and real player can resize videos but they keep the aspect ratio. since it's 640x480, i need a player that allows me to resize this to 16:9. from what i know, there's none :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/642470-which-video-player-can-play-asx-files-and-change-the-aspect-ratio/#findComment-589473314 Share on other sites More sharing options...
