Hi,
Currently we have these options on a widescreen display if we want to make a 4:3 video play fullscreen:
- stretch the picture to fit 16:10 - this will distort the 4:3 picture so badly that it is mostly unwatchable
- have the 4:3 picture in the middle and watch those black bars at both sides
- zoom in (overscan) - that way most of the top and the bottom of the picture will be cropped.
In Windows Media Center, in some widescreen televisions and in some dvd players there is a "parabolic stretch" or "non-linear stretch" feature where the middle of the picture stays almost the same as in 4:3 but the sides are stretched to fill the screen - the bigger the distance from the middle the bigger is the stretch on the sides.
Similar technic is used in PowerDVD called CLPV (CyberLink Pano Vision), here is the link:

Could you please add this feature to KMPLayer for both video and WDM sources? It would make watching 4:3 sources much nicer on a widescreen display.
Thanks in advance.
