in v8 we can switch the behavior of the video output (between zoom, crop, bars) on the whole 'bars' does a good job of keeping videos looking the right shape whether im using widescreen or not, but with some older files in bars mode i get the video appear in a box with black at both top/bottom and left/right. (in this case, the video is indeed letterbox format with aspect set to 4:3 within the file)
IF we could have a per-file switch to override the setting in the video file, we could eventually get rid of letterbox appearing in a black box.
I already have a custom button to toggle the display, but i find im constantly adjusting the same files..

If it's always the same files why not add an action poi to said files to tweak the vid settings upon loading?

ye i tried that before but how do you account for widescreen and not widescreen monitor outs??

I'd think you'd have a global variable that you manually set at the start of the night, then the action poi quiz that variable to determine the best size to output.
