Postage size video playback in WMP10! why?

Hello all,

I just got my X50v a week ago. It has Windows Media Player version 10 built in. I tried doing a search in the forums for this, but I couldn't find a solution.

When I play a video back from the windowsmedia.com site on my axim, (i.e. the 56k streams), the video shows as postage size with a HUGE black border all around.

In addition, I tried encoding my TV card feed using Windows Media Encoder 9 (as per the guide that is posted/linked to here) and I get the same black border (in both landscape and normal mode) in WMP10. I used the setting as posted in that guide.

Any suggestions? Are others having the same problem?

maybe that is the size of the feed
try encoding a video

after encoding a full movie and viewing it on my axim in full screen, it truly uses the entire screen
My x30h is da bomb

That's normal behavior for WMP10. If the video you're watching is 320 x 240 then it will display that size in WMP10. If you wnat to fill the black area, your video needs to be 470 x 435 or larger. Or, if you want to fill the screen with the video, just hit the full screen button (far left button).
