It's probably another newbie question, but I have no Idea how to do it.

Also related: if I have HD video in 1280 x 720, but the projector has only 1024 x 748(700something), is it better to just scale down the dimensions in max or reencode the video for better looks and performance?

how-do-you-preserve-aspect-ratio-in-fullscreen

If you are using jit.gl.video plane, you can use the @scale attribute 

with 'full_screen 1 on the window - use @scale attribute and 

specify proper aspect ratio. (@scale 1.77 1. would give have filling 

the whole (x/y gets your x scale factor) screen) the use the message 

"position 0. 0. $1" and a float to position the window on the z axis

I use (occasionally when I really care about that sort of thing) this 

javascript/patch to force the aspect of a videoplane to be set 

correctly based on the dim of the movie vs the window size.

I wasn`t using the jit.gl.videoplane before, just jit.window and direct to window method, because I'm using HDV 720p. But I tried it now and the scaling works fine. Thanks. BUT the colors look sh

How can I influence this e.g. get full colors back? I looked at the jit.gl.videoplane helppatch but couldn't figure it out. I'd like to have it working by tuesday for my diploma :D (don't comment please).

Or is there a way to do the same thing with just the jit.window?

I still haven't got the color problem fixed, so I'm going hardwire and add some black stripes to my video. Not the best solution tho, but it works direct to window.

how do you preserve aspect ratio in fullscreen?
