Bug Description

Sometimes I’ll get a file that has a bad aspect ratio.. like when someone sets the wrong aspect in the encoder. On a player like xine, they have a key that allows me to cycle through the aspect ratios until I can find the right one. It would be awesome if elisa could do that too.

Most CNN videos are in 4:3 ratio, but the videos are actually encoded as 16:9. The result is that most of the videos play in bad aspect ratio (just as it is on the website, mind you).

I could force 4:3 aspect ratio and the ratio of videos displayed properly vs. wrong would get reversed.

The latest free moovida 1.09 does not get any maintenance since a while. Now moovidadb.com is supporting Linux and support can be found at : http://www.fluendo.com/faq/
