Movies playing in incorrect size

[GlazeWasTaken]

Hello,

I made a post a while ago about adding a movie before the main menu pops up (which I now have working, though I do not have buttons on my main menu anymore, a question for another thread), but the problem is all of my movies that I have ever put into renpy play at the wrong size, despite me defining it. an example of my coding (for this movie in specific):

Code: Select all

label before_main_menu:
    image main_menu = Movie(play="movies/title.webmhd.webm", size=(1920,1080), loop=False, image="images/title screen logo.png")
    screen main_menu:
        add "main_menu"

What can I do to fix the movie size being displayed incorrectly, both for this function, and for functions like this:

Code: Select all

label splashscreen:
    scene black
    with Pause(1)
    $ renpy.movie_cutscene("movies/op.m2t")
    with Pause(1)
    return

I will also specify I am up to date, using Ren.py 7.3.5.

What's the game resolution?

In gui.rpy check the lines

Code: Select all

## Calling gui.init resets the styles to sensible default values, and sets the
## width and height of the game.
init python:
    gui.init(1280, 720)

Is it match the size of video? And could you attach the video file to let people test it?

My gui.init is defined at (1920, 1080), as it should be, and does match the video file. The video files don't need to be tested, they all work and play normally, it is just the size issue.

It may be the format, mt2 isn't mentioned in the documentation as supported.

Wrong, m2t works and plays the video normally, and even if that were the case of it resizing because of that, that wouldn't explain why the webm one resizes itself despite being supported and defined at 1080p.

Well, the size of video is 1440x1080 pxls. And it looks like Ren'Py don't want to change aspect ratio of the video, so it stretches/shrinks the video to make one of width/height fit the size you've set and calculate the other measure to keep the original aspect ratio.

I did just notice that, but even if I define the video as 1440x1080 and/or define the gui.init as 1440 it keeps squishing it. I will try and rerender it at 1080 proper and see what happens.

Ok I am an idiot, resizing it fixed it. Thanks!

"It works" and "It is supported" are not the same thing.
I learnt this the hard way when I first started using ren'py and an update stopped mp4 video from working.

That being said, m2t might be supported (even if not actually specified) since m2t stands for MPEG-2 Transport and MPEG-2 is listed as supported.
just be aware that MPEG-2 is a proprietary format that requires you to pay licensing fees.
