What about Video Cropping and resolutions
January 30th, 2020
I have a another Video (Lets call it VIDEO 02) with SIZE around 700MB, with Dimensions 1280×536 which leave too much of black space on top and bottm ( WHICH I DONT LIKE AT ALL). Here is screenshot of it.
So are the questions spinning in my head
1) Even though video resolutions are good, why VIDEO 2 is leaving too much black space at top and bottom?. were VIDEO 1 size and resolution is less it covers more space by leaving very less black space on top and bottom.
2) What details I should check before I download a video which covers more on the screen ? (Which has very less black spaces on top and bottom.
Right now I’m using MacBook Air 13 — 1440×990 Resolution (Just in case if its depend on my screen size ).

Find the team or uploader that re-encodes a show which has borders closer to your liking and download their uploads.
When you look at that link, you will realize that different videos are made in different aspect ratios to fit the screen on which they are intended to be displayed..
Your top display may be a TV show and intended for a 16:9 screen…(You get a little bit of black because many monitors are 16:10)
The second display would be a cinema movie….The visible part you see is the ‘size’ of a theatre screen..
If you look up a movie or show on IMDB it will show Aspect Ratio (1.78 : 1 is 16:9)…Of course some encoders may change their own encode..(in other words, crop the sides).
You can of course cheat and use “pan and scan” in your player (or some zoom), which can give a picture of full height but you miss out on bits at each side
