So in BB I am choosing the wheel 4 to fill the screen for video themes but the videos are stretched to 16:9. I would rather have them in their 4:3 format. How do I do this? Also can I do this for certain systems?

 

Thanks

This all depends on what theme you are using. Certain themes are hard coded to stretch the video by the theme's author, while others are not.

So the theme game videos I test outside BB are at 4:3 but when they play in BB they are stretched. There has to be a setting somewhere? I'm using BB unified theme but in some systems like Arcade/MAME I want to choose wheel 4 where it just shows the game theme but its stretched and not at 4:3 as it is outside BB.

 

Thanks

This is theme specific. The author of the theme has decided to stretch the videos in those views within the xaml code itself. This is a choice that theme creators make when building their themes, and it sounds like the author decided to stretch videos for that particular view.

You could make the change yourself, but you would have to edit the theme files to do so. Open the Wheel4GamesView.xaml for that theme, and there's probably a property that says StretchVideo="True". Change that to false.
