Topic: auto crop blackbars and replace them by lighting
this is my experience about this subject. if you find a better solution , please tell us.
currently SVP has manual crop function. I use SVP to watch dvb-s TV channels. there are many TV channels which broadcast in 4:3 and have different size black bars to show 16:9 or 2.35/1 contents. enable/disable crop function or changing crop size when changing channels is a headache!
I find a solution. using autocrop in ffdshow + black bar lighting
auto crop must done very quickly because when SVP is active, changing video dimensions cause problem and smooth playback disturbs.
so we must increase "turn off on seek" to maximum (2 seconde) and in ffdshow change these under autocrop: (almost)
refresh: 1000 ms
stop scan after: 250 ms
then enable black bar lighting in SVP manager
now it works
would you please include same function in SVP?
