Dolby digital calls for dynamic range normalization in smaller, non-full range speakers. VLC doesn't do this they just let you 200% distort the audio lol

also everybody be like "pagancow whats your thoughts on 21:9 whats your 21:9? tell me what u think about 21:9"

I finally was forced to work on one for a week.

1) its garbage for work, since menus go down, not left and right.
2) its garbage for games since most dont support the proper FOV + you're rendering pixels you don't need so your perf drops for very little benefit.
3) the PPIs on them are still low density, and look like 24" 1080P screens.
4) most content that is actually 2.35:1 doesn't fit in them because the black bars get encoded in 16:9 material so hope you enjoy looking at things in little windows.

you can zoom in with vlc media player

I read the first, second, and last pages. i still have the following question:

if i delete vlc what do i use? media player classic?

i seriously have no idea, i haven't looked at media player options outside VLC for what a decade?

mpv is the new hotness but it's really stupid. i haven't looked at any front ends to it

p. sure its bad but i use it because i remember the buttons, it doesn't have a mess of an interface like vlc, but much like vlc it just happily plays whatever it gets

i dont know any of the buttons and scrolling is bound to scrubbing but its the default for my illegal hockey streaming app so whenever i brush my trackpad it fucks up the streaming and i have to restart it

lol if you dont just play on an emulator and render n64 games in hd

you can drop in the pcsx2 graphics dll into one of the psx emulators and play ffvii at 1080p. all the 3d stuff looks like its turbo phong shaded but the sprites are the same

my lg monitor has an option to turn off the power led when it's getting a signal which is cool. i just checked and i have the brightness all the way down to zero which is odd, because i can still see what im typing.

why cant they just give you a better bitrate instead of whatever the gently caress they are doing instead? it's not like you can see more than 3 colors
