  1.46 Pixel Aspect Ratio not playing full screen

  Posted by Paul Minnaar on November 10, 2010 at 2:23 pm

  Hi all.

  I have used the old PAR settings of 1.42(AE 6.5) for a long time, with great success, but now have problems with CS5.

  My comps are normally set at 1024 X 768 4:3 1.42 (now 1.46) PAR and played to widescreen TV’s through media players (VLC or WMP).

  The screen res on the player machines is set to 1024 X 768 and plays the videos at full screen, perfectly, no distortion with the old AE 6.5 settings.

  Now for my problem.

  I know CS5 has changed the PAR to 1.46, which is fine, but my renders do not play at full screen, they are letterboxed and distorted.
  

  In VLC for for instance, I can right click on the video, drop down to screen resolutions and click on 4:3, then the video plays at full screen.

  How can I get the video to default to full screen like that without having to right click on the video to set it like that?

  Thanks
