backglass recording vidoes skinny

[keithhov]

When I record backglass videos they play back squeezed inward, they are to skinny.   They play fine in a media player in windows but when in pinballx they view squeezed inward.   

Any suggestions?

I kinda found a work around, it seems recording backglasses works best when they are full screen, meaning stretched full screen width wise.  I prefer mine to be not stretched as much as I prefer them closer to the original aspect ratio of an actual backglass, more of a square then rectangle.

So I will just record them stretched out a bit, then change the backglass width settings in pinballx.   I was trying to set my preferred width, then recording.

@scutters

you are recording weird resolutions as well, right (to display your mirrored playfield), or you record your videos full screen ?

@keithhov. You are record videos through pbx ?

Sounds like one of the issue i have with backglass video recording (https://www.gameex.info/forums/topic/25116-playfield-video-created-unrotated-no-backglass-video/?do=findComment&comment=197668) not respecting offsets etc and recording fullscreen. 

My workaround is to use PBX Recorder for backglass recordings rather than PinballX, as that uses VP B2S screen res settings

 

EDIT - @Mike_da_Spike you are correct, see above.

using a standard resolution 1920 by 10... i guess the bottom line is for now you might not get exactly what you see on the screen when your actually recording, especially backglasses.    I agree with scutters,  but at least i found a manageable work around for now.   Will be nice to just click a few buttons and let it record all my tables and backglasses.
