Hi im soon to own an iPod touch 32GB 2G (if that makes a difference) and My concern is whether it can adjust to wrongly encoded videos for example:
The video has been captured in 16:9 BUT encoded to 4:3 SOwhen viewed on a 4:3 monitor there are no bars above and below but the picture is squashed so everyone is thin.
The same video if viewed on a 16:9 screen with appear just like as if on a 4:3 but since the monitor is 16:9 there will be bars on the left and right BUT say if i was using VLC media player on a PC connected to this 16:9 monitor i could set the video to the correct 16:9 and the video would resize to 16:9 and fill the screen and the vidoe would playback in the original 16:9.
Can the iPod Touch do this also? So i play this 16:9 but encoded 4:3 (for iPod touch obviously) and on the screen i see a squashed 4:3 image, is there an option to cycle through ALL the different options e.g. 16:9, 16:10, 2.21:1, etc
I know that you can crop the video to view fullscreen and thats it what about what ive said? thanks for the help!
