how come the videoplane is distorted to fit the window on a 90 degrees rotation on the Z axis ?
because of transform_reset 2 ?
how can i avoid this ?
any thoughts , advice much appreciated :)

i am working on a project where i need to have the movies mapped on a videoplane keep their original pixel dimension and aspect ratio no matter what the destination dimensions are. so one pixel on screen = 1 pixel in world.
i then want to be able to manipulate that videoplane without it being distorted.

how can i force it not to be distorted ?

quite an old thread, but still a good question.
is there an easy way to rotate a videoplane with reset 2
without distort it.

the only way i found out was store the movie dimension ratio
and use reset 1.

but thats not very comfortable, if you want to scale and rotate
afterwards, or if you load movies with different dimensions.

perhaps there is an elegant solution for this problem.
