Lossless videos have the stretched image when viewed only with VLC

EtoDem

Videopad 11.20 (beta from previous ticket)

VLC 3.0.16

MPC-HC 1.9.19

The files for the repro: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-X_W1FevzDYo5iwF-39GSg3jKd-i1bI-?usp=sharing

If I append the two files and export them as "reencode" the video is perfectly open with any viewer.
If I export it as "lossless" on VLC it is horizontally stretched while on MPC-HC it is perfect.
What may have happened?

Thank you,
Matteo

Only your VLC comparison image displayed stretched video.

When lossless export was viewed in four different players none had the issue.

This hints that a VLC setting is not correct, but that can't be confirmed here. Perhaps someone else will chime in.

Thank you for your tests.

I don't understand why VLC is not correct

I uninstalled VLC with "remove preferences and cache" then reinstalled (last version 3.0.16).

No changes, stretched result. 😭

I tested old 10.96 version and it's the same result: VLC play is stretched and I don't know why.

But I see something strange (in all versions).

My video are vertical so they are 1080x1920 but:

Lossless details are swapped: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IXrnnh9sAWBwgdJu1q3B8T4lVW4BRw55/view?usp=sharing

Reencoded are correct: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yA70UHaWW7b1TGbe9eowgwUx85Mu7nCJ/view?usp=sharing

TY!

Some things were never meant to be known...🙃

Your source files are 1920x1080 - 16:9 A/R but rotated, as reported by MediaInfo...

Perhaps that's the crux of the problem.
