I just came across a strange problem:
I have some clips that have been recorded using a sony alpha 77 cam.
The file properties in windows explorer show that the video format is 1080x1440 (4:3)
However when I play the clip with whatever player (quicktime, windows media player, VLC...), the video is actually 1080x1920 (16:9), and it is not merely stretched but really "native" full 1080x1920 (16:9) with full image information.
When I load the clip into videopad, the little icon in the bin also shows the full width. however when using/playing, the clip is cropped on the left and right and that extra information is lost / I have to stretch it to avoid black borders on the left and right.
It seems that the players just output "what is in the file" whereas videopad seems to rely on the file information which (wrongly?) says that the width is only 1440.
Anybody has seen this before?
Any Idea how I can convince windows or videopad or both that the file is actually 1920 in width?
