    I changed the maxbitrate back to 2000000 and tried to pre-transcode to Mp4 the newest video. When doing this, have sound, not choppy, but back to the original problem again of aspect ratio being an issue. Short and stubby picture. Again to test, I went back to the older video that had played correctly and now deleted the mp4 transcode that was done last year and tried to now pre-transcode again fresh. It played fine again. So the older video that has no problems was able to play just fine when pre -transcoded "then and now". But the new video, created supposedly with same format on an apple iPhone, does not want to play correctly when pre-transcoded and give this widened aspect. Again, it would seem that something has changed in the needed profile to transcode .mov files now as compared to then to get them to play correctly.

    Looking back at the ffmpeg information of the files you posted earlier in the thread I can see that the file that plays correctly has no aspect ratio specified but the file that has the aspect ratio problem contains a blank aspect ratio. Possibly you can try using the aspect ratio cohttp://www.mezzmo.com/wiki/doku.php?...or_your_videos to see if this fixes it.

    ill give it a shot and report back. What does not make sense though is that tonight I basically erased transcoding for both videos and re transcoded today anew. The old plays fine and the new does not. So if they were both identical they should end up I would imagine the same way and they do not.

    based upon the ffmpeg information the videos are not identical, something must have changed in the encoder on the phone because the newer file has an empty aspect ratio field.

    Tried suggestion. Went to "fix aspect ratio yourself" instructions.

    8 player does have a cog on the screen when watching the video that allows you to change your aspect ratio. However, when attempted, did not work for any options given.

    Then tried pre-transcoding the video with directing for a specific aspect ratio as instructed. Attempted all 4 options, none seem to help. In fact, no change with all 4 options. No problem with sound or choppy playback, just short and widened aspect ratio. I am going to include the ffmpeg information for each scenario for comparison.

    I did note however what you drew attention to which is at bottom of each, aspect ratio is left blank. Almost as if even though I directed to do a particular aspect ratio, it did not happen. Bear in mind, this was all tried on the "new video" as of 1 month. So I decided to go back and look at the older video from 1-2 years ago to see if that was also blank and it was. I am including that as scenario #5.

    I did consider however with #5 (the old video) that on 6/27/ 17 post, I erased all the old mp4 transcode and tried to retranscode then to see if there was a problem handling that older video and having done that, I could have caused the same scenario where the aspect ratio showed blank. So I then took a whole other video that was older and one that I have not used in all this testing and that also has historically played with no problem. I'll include it's ffmpeg as #6.

    Interesting it too does not have anything labeled as aspect ratio at bottom however plays fine. I don't think that is the problem.

    Hopefully by me including this you can get more information and quicker instead of volleying this back and forth as we are now.

    The older videos are 1280x720 whereas the newer videos are 1920x1080 also the DB level is 40 on the newer videos and 31 on the older videos so this may explain the difference in streaming behavior since they will require more bandwidth causing the stuttering. The audio looks the same so I would expect that the player is dropping the audio due to the bandwidth issue playing the video and this is why you do not hear the audio when playing the original file. You could try going to 'Media Devices' then double-click the device in the list and on the Performance tab set the maximum resolution to 1280x720 then click OK and try playing one of the new videos.

    Attempted your advice above for use of the "original file" again; I had abandoned hope on it and was okay with transcoding if need be. It did not work. Stayed with all 3 problems when transcoding the original file if changing the setting above which is stuttering, 90 deg counterclockwise view and wide aspect.

    I thought I would also trial your suggestion with pre-transcoding to mp4 and had still the one problem that exists if transcoding which is just the wide aspect.

    At this point, I am fine if I have to use memory to transcode these files and not use the original file given I at least get the problem set to one problem and not three (ie only wide aspect is the issue then).

    Did you try setting the max resolution to 1280x720 in performance settings, this should make the transcoded videos the same resolution for old and new videos?

    Yes. I set that as max resolution and tried all of what I did in last post with that resolution.

    The next step would be to compare the ffmpeg information of the transcoded files, can you please go to the properties of a new video in Mezzmo and on the transcoding tab select the transcoded file and click on 'Get FFmpeg Information...' then copy and paste this into a new post here and also do this for an old video so we can compare the transcoded files.
