Letterbox? Do the devs even know what letterbox is? This app, as far as I know, is not designed for a CRT so it’s bewildering the developers of one of the best media players in the world don’t know the definitions about said media
Letterbox doesn’t mean it’s for a CRT.
It just means the picture should be displayed in its entirety – if the video and screen aspect ratio don’t match, there’ll be black bars (boxing the picture).
- for older content in 4:3 resolution, that means you’re getting black bars to the left and right
- for cinematic content that’s shot/distributed in 21:9, that means you’re getting black bars to the top/bottom of the video.
Yes but probably something like “Original” would be a better wording for this.
The resulting video-graphic image has mattes of empty space above and below it
yea…
