Black stretch marks on sony bravia

[canister]

I've had this problem with all my videos on my Sony Bravia NX7 kdl-40nx715, i get 2 black marks on the top and bottom of the picture streching it, I've read many solution and apparently the one that works is

-vf softskip,expand=::::1:16\/9,dsize=4\/3

but i have no idea where I am supposed to put that

if i put it here and i go to my tv the videos appear in thumbnails but when i open them the don't load:



and if I put it here



this message pops up



so if some one could explain step by step where I'm supposed to put "-vf softskip,expand=::::1:16\/9,dsize=4\/3" and how to put it I'd be really thankfull!!

When added in GUI, don't use escape characters "\"
Escape character have to be used in renderer.conf file.
Check e.g. Panasonic.conf file:

Code: Select all

CustomMencoderOptions=-vf softskip,expand=::::1:16\/9:4

If you will add it in GUI, it is applied to all renderers.
If added to separate renderer.conf file, it is applied to it only!
But beware:
Latest versions have a bug mentioned here:
https://github.com/ps3mediaserver/ps3me ... er/pull/98
So for now you can use GUI (your first screen)
EDIT:
Are you sure you need to specify "dsize=..." part? It doesn't work without it? It works for me on Panasonic TV without problems (same as on PS3, Android or XBMC)

If I put it like this :


video is still streched

if I put it like this :


video is still streched

if I put it like this :


video is still streched


if I put it like this:

-vf softskip,expand=::::1:16 > audio comes out of the tv, but no video
-vf softskip,expand=::::9:4 > video doesn't start
-vf softskip,expand=::::1:16\/9:4 > video doesn't start

I still don't know if I'm puting it in the right place or in the right way, what do you referer to when you talk about "GUI" ?

?????
If you are using GUI to set AR correction, I said to use what you mentioned but without "\" (escape char)
If it is used in renderer conf, then you have to mention "CustomMencoderOptions="
So, if you are using GUI, use ONLY:

Code: Select all

-vf softskip,expand=::::1:16/9:4

or if it doesn't work, use

Code: Select all

-vf softskip,expand=::::1:16/9,dsize=4/3

But beware: This settings is used only when TRANSCODING via [MEncoder]!!!!!
