Understanding HD...

[Zangetsu]

You just have to install Klite Codec Pack This feature comes with it. After you have installed it then a option Media info in the right click context menu of any playable file. Be it video or Audio.

he is asking for the video...u got from where???

 

[mitraark]

Well if you want 1080p Music Videos Youtube has quite good collection [ Not as good as BD Rips but good enough ]

YouTube - Rebecca Black - Friday (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

OFFTOPIC:
LOL: Do you really like that Black Friday song, supposedly the most disliked song of all time?

OnTopic:
Finding HD videos on youtube is not hard to find at all. Just search for any song, and filter the results by "Only HD videos"

Guys I have a video file whose resolution is 1920*1080p (i.e full HD)
but when I play the video I can see two parallel black strips...does 1080p has black strips
or does it play full screen???

 

[asingh]

^^
It should not have those strips. You need to change the scaling on the graphics adapter.

 

[Vyom]

@Zangetsu:
Those black strips which you are witnessing are to compensate the mismatch of ratio's between that of the video to that of the screen resolution.
Its simple maths.
Find ratio of video = eg, if video is 1280 x 544, then Video ratio = 2.35
ratio of screen res = which is, 1920 x 1080 = 1.77.

So clearly in the examples above, video is More wide than the resolution of the screen, and hence the horizontal lines.

If you are using VLC, you can try to decrease the video ratio by changing Aspect Ratio, right click Video -> Aspect Ratio.
But remember this can make the video stretched. (That is actors would look longer than usual).

Both his file and monitor are 1080pi. He will need to check the settings on his adapter. It is just a simple tweak. Or change resolution on his player. It will not stretch to show awkward.

unfortunately even "technically" is a vague term here, depends on the screen pretty heavily here. HD is frame size, as well as the frame rate. The frame size is 1280x720 or higher, and the frame rate is 60 fps or higher. this is in theory, and all digital data invariably has compression, and the video standards are pretty lossy MPEG is one example, but every compression method is just another name for loss in some kind of video quality. So yeah HD video is no guarantee for quality, the less "lossy" the compression, the better, but there are bloated file formats too, MPEG may even be one of them.

That happens when your screen aspet ratio don't match video's aspect ratio. But you alwys get rid of them using MPC or GOM and many times VLC. But the thing is like vineet said that video would be stretched.

ratio of screen res = which is, 1920 x 1080 = 1.77.

Its called 16:9 in common I guess.

I m using my monitor in 1920*1080p resolution....

I have used aspect ratio 16:9 in MPC but still black strips....

Q.If I play the same video in 40" Full HD TV.will it show those black strips?

here is the media info of that file:

^^ As I stated earlier, the visibility of black bars is the result of mismatch between the aspect ratio of the video and that of the screen size.

So for a video of aspect ratio, 16:9, you will need a screen of that exact aspect ratio of 16:9, so that the black bars (which are called Letterbox mattes), dissapear.
Now since I don't know the aspect ratio of your 40" HD TV, I can't tell if the Letterbox matte would be visible or not.

As strange as it may sound, but I actually like those mattes, since it enhances the "widescreen" nature of the video. And I love widescreen!

 

[gameranand]

Q.If I play the same video in 40" Full HD TV.will it show those black strips?

Most probably yes.
Screens which have exact 16:9 ratio are somewhat smaller than regular onces in like half a inch.... Like 19" is 16:10 while 18.5(or something like that don't remember) is a exact 16:9. Nowadays its not really hard to find them but a few years back 16:9 monitors and TVs were rare.

As strange as it may sound, but I actually like those mattes, since it enhances the "widescreen" nature of the video. And I love widescreen!

I usually get rid of them by selecting aspect ratio 16:10 in VLC and in MPC its simpler than VLC.

 

[Zangetsu]

@vineet369 & gameranand: i dont find 16:10 option in MPC...
do i have to do some setting in CCC???

look I have another video of 1080p which play full screen without black strips...???How???

So you are saying, that you have two videos, lets say, VD1, and VD2, both having the same aspect ratio of 16:9. Now, VD1 is showing matte, but VD2 isn't!
That's Strange!

I think, VD1 have some inherent defect, because of which, the aspect ratio changes, as soon as it's played.
OR
VD2 have some inherent defect, because of which, the aspect ratio changes to that of the monitor, resulting in the absence of matte.

BTW, I noticed now, that you havn't mentioned the resolution of the monitor on which you are watching this video. Please mention that!

Pls read my post#32 carefully

 

[gameranand]

I m using my monitor in 1920*1080p resolution....

Whats aspect ratio of your monitor as per manufacturer.

gameranand: i dont find 16:10 option in MPC...
do i have to do some setting in CCC???

Just turn on your numlock keys( That little light should glow) Then press 8 on numlock keys to increase the size of video vertically and 2 to decrease. Press 6 to increase size of video horizontally and 4 to decrease. Simple isn't it.

Oyee..I know this...but this is manual resizing...

1080p has 16:9 aspect ratio & this is called widescreen dats y black strips

 

[gameranand]

Even when you change the aspect ratio in VLC is manual resizing.

Yeah right.
