aspect ratio problem

[Synseer]

Trying to stream video to an ONKYO BD-SP809 and the video on certain files has a distorted aspect ratio and the picture is shifted to the right side of the screen. Any help will be much appreciated.

Please right-click on one such file in Mezzmo and post the output of the "Get FFmpeg Information" command, so that I could see whether the file is being transcoded or sent natively. Also, which device profile are you using?

device profile sets to Generic Device (NTSC)

I changed the device profile and that helped

So it works ok now? Are you using the Onkyo profile now?
