madshi,

Yeah, you told me not to use stretch to window, I'll try to explain things a bit better. Tested using Windows 7 64bit Pro and Mpc-hc 1.7.9 (x64).

Using the keep black bars visible if they contain subtitles option and setting it to forever doesn't work for me, the video is still being cropped (osd shows 720*450). Changing it to 90min or any other setting lower works without any problems, using the DVD sample I uploaded and a handful of disc's and videos I have.

The reason I use stretch to window on that Blu-ray sample is because in full screen mode touch window from the inside does not remove the pillar boxing, using stretch to window does which is exactly what I want.

These are the settings I use:

automatically detect hard coded black bars.
notify media player about black bars, no more than once every 2 sec.
crop black bars.

What I was asking for is the ability to simply crop the black bars without doing anything else, no aspect ratio correction. The same as using Avisynth to crop before re-encoding or on the fly via FFDshow. As I said before it's not a big deal but would come in handy for people like me who don't mind breaking the AR and stretching the image a little.

The advantage this method has is that you can remove the black bars and keep the subtitles intact, here is an example using the DVD sample.

madVR, touch window from inside:

re-encode cropped to 720*450, stretch to window:

Thanks.
