    Altering the Aspect Ratio under MPC.
    Mobile-phone videos may need finer aspect-ratio adjustments than standard. Ensure that the View/ Options/ Playback/ Output/ DirectShow Video option allows for Rotation, then turn on NumLock and separately adjust either height or width with the directional arrows. Numpad5 will revert to the previous aspect setting.

    Problem is that for some reason I can’t change aspect ratio anymore in my MPC HC, it’s locked to DAR and options are greyed out. Also I don’t have “override aspect ratio”, I have only “aspect ratio”-line, but as I said can’t change them.

    There is something wrong with my files that will not allow me to change the ratio from 4:3 to 16:9, the files also fucks with the sound control so now when playing i can only lower/raise the volym with the stereo remote and not the system sound.
    Will you try to make a workarond for this?
    I can use the numpad “trick” to widen the image, but i would like to just use the 16:9 option in the menu.
