Change video viewing size?

[kirbwrx]

Is there anyway to change the viewing size of a video file. The videos that I transferred to my tab are only filling about a third of the screen and are centered. Is there a fullscreen mode I can select like on my xbox and computer? Thanks in advance.

+ 1.

What does +1 mean?

anyone?

looks like no fixes yet. I dont know much about touchwiz but maybe when the update rolls out 8/3 there will be some options for this.

anyone?

It sounds like the movie files you are bringing over are of a lower resolution (size) than the tablet's size. Possibly from a phone? Mobi Player (free) will increase the size to full screen but the quality will suffer because you can't increase the size of a pixel without a lof artifact interpolation (garbage in, garbage out). I've had to re-rip movies to take into account the larger size of the tab screen.

Hope that helps.

Mobi free works great for me, boo on honeycomb!

The best solution is to rip your movies at a resolution that will fit the screen the way you want.

The device has a 1280 by 800 display. So, I would use that as your baseline.

Of course you could stretch/zoom as suggested via player controld. however, you may lose quality.

Find a better video player.

MX VideoPlayer has Fit to Screen, Original Ratio and Original Size as options.

I use Mobi Player and it has a "full screen" option...at least on the few videos I've copied over and tried to play on it.

The update fixes this problem. I had the same issue but after the update, there are 3 sizes now including full screen.
