I have loaded some movies and videos onto my gs2, the movies ripped from dvd with FabHD and the videos are mostly ytube downloads. All were then converted to mp4 using Handbrake (which cropped the black bars).
When playing the video, some that had the bars cropped (e.g. 1:2.40 aspect ratio films) although not all, play with the wrong aspect ratio.
For example, a 1:2.4 movie was stretched vertically to 16:9 and a 4:3 music video was stretched horizontally to 16:9.
The aspect ratio button on the video player didn't help.
Am I doing something wrong?
Apologies if this has been discussed before.
Hi there.
Does anyone know if it's possible to hack the android camera, somehow, to record the HD videos instead 4:3 rather than 16:9? My camera (Xperia Neo) obviously doesn't have a widescreen lens so the magnificent 16:9 is just cropped 4:3. Recording in VGA obviously gives you everything the lense can capture but the quality isn't exactly great.
Any ideas? I tried editing media_profiles.xml, simply replacing 1280 with 960 but it only crashed the cameras.
Thanks
I'm trying to figure out why trading recording video in 16:9 is always zoomed in?
Literally zoned zoomed. For example if I toggle between the highest res option at 16:9 vs whatever is lower at 4:3 it's obvious that it is zoomed in. If I try to pinch zoom out it says I can't.

I'm talking about a problem when recording video, not playback issues.
Hello.
I was wondering if some of you found a way to read x265 files with 10bit HDR content bt.2020.
Using the native video app or VLC, I just got a grey-ish screen like I have when watching the movie on my SDR computer screen. The native app didn't even decode the soundtrack (aac I think). Any clue?
I use a mobile version of Kodi, hdr works very well, mxplayer work . Besides I do not have any problem playing hdr on VLC either. Regardles to vlc you may consider turning YUV (FORCES CHROMA) In setting,advanced,
Ps sony Xperia one pick brights is not as high to fulfill full gamet of hdr , although do not qoute me on that
I will try those one, thank you.
I suppose it's about the codec used. I'll try another file

That a files format I use and plays perfect
I tried Kodi and MX player, and run the same as VLC:
SDR:
Video: MPEG4 Video (H264) 1920x808 23.976fps [V: English [eng] (h264 high L4.1, yuv420p, 1920x808) [default]]
Audio: DTS 48000Hz 6ch 1536kbps [A: English [eng] (dts, 48000 Hz, 5.1, 1536 kb/s)]
HDR:
Video: HVC1 1920x804 23.976fps [V: Avengers Infinity War 2018 x265 1080p HDR10 [fre] (hevc main 10, yuv420p10le, 1920x804) [default]]
Audio: DD+ 48000Hz 6ch 512kbps [A: VFF EAC3 7.1 [fre] (eac3, 48000 Hz, 5.1, 512 kb/s) [default]]
HDR content here is really darker. But I was wrong, it's not grey-ish like on my SDR computer monitor. I have to set the brightness at the maximum to watch the HDR movie, and be in the dark. Well, the trailer of spiderman far from home bundled in the phone goes the same way (Video: HVC1 3840x1644 23.976fps 12480kbps [V: video handler (hevc main 10, yuv420p10le, 3840x1644, 12480 kb/s)])… I'm in creator mode, but maybe I messed up other settings?
It's boring, but I'll try a factory reset to be sure.
EDIT: nothing after a factory reset. Maybe I just need to put the briightness at the max for HDR content to have enought output for the light peaks.
Ok, so it was just a misunderstanding from myself. HDR file should be watched with brightness at 100%. It will not use that much Energy since the movie is purposely darker, allowing brightness peak on some part of the screen. Just watched Shazam in full blu-ray iso and it was really great. Beautiful screen. I need a 2To SD card tho xD

After latest update, phone automatically turn brightness to 100% for HDR content. At least this has been consistent with YouTube HDR videos.

I'll see that when I'll get the update. Not really a matter since it's just a swipe on the screen with VLC. Just a shame VLC is not 4k. I have my 4K video downscaled to the app to be read on a 4k screen -_- (proof is if I set the zoom to "centered", the image is twice time bigger than the screen, it should be perfectly displayed if it was 4k on 4k).

I may find a solution for the problem, the sony xperia one is running at 21:9 version of the 1080p which is not really hdr standard, try to turn off the game enhancement , it will switch back to native 21:9 4k it should switch to natively hdr... I have disable that on the very first day of mobile phone usage since I do not game on my phone.

Thanks, but are you sure game enhencer is used even when it's not displaying the game enhancer settings and with app that are not on the game enhancer list?
Anyway, I disabled it and VLC is still in 2K (I never had game enhancer working with this app since it show a big round Rainbow on the corner of the screen when game enhancer is working).
And I'm positive it's 2K and not FHD, the 4k movie are only cut by half. And it's logical since most phone work in 2k so VLC was developped with that in mind. Xperia 1 use the max setting available on an app till 4k.
Anyway, pentile 4k is really crisp and it's ok for me.
About HDR, just set the brithness to maximum to allow the phone to use enought power for bright peak. The rest of the scene is purposely dark because of this.

The screen is not 4k native. It doesn't work that way.
