  1. Videos stuck in wide screen mode


    Recently something happened so when I watch video online and put them on full screen, they show up wide screen so it's black on top and bottom of screen (above and below video). This make movies look stretched side-ways and actors, etc look wider than they are supposed to be. I tried every PC and TV setting I could find.

    well, some people like the wide screen landscape effect Videos stuck in wide screen mode :)it's much easier to do things in a wide screen. and it's much nicer to watch videos in landscape (although most video players will offer you that mode without having to add anything to the phone
    ).

    new phones like N95 have an accelrometer inside that tells the phone how it's being held, and so the screen automatially adjusts itself to proper viewing mode.

    Being the size of the screen not so wide in portrait mode, the video will only appear very tiny in the middle of the screen. So, that option is not provided.

    I don't think we need a volume indicator in videos. You'd better keep it at a level you'll be able to hear properly and that definitely won't depend upon the levels shown by indicator.

    Videos stuck in wide screen mode

    It does help if you fill out all of your system spec's. If video is in widescreen, I would start with the application that you are using, then checking the tv to see if it is on Zoom or Full/16:9.

  5. How do i check the applications that the websites are using? Right clicking the video doesn't give me option for the app they use to play the video.
