Fix for limited presentation of video in WMV under VGA

[JvanEkris]

A lot of people have complained about not being to show WMV movies full screen on a VGA PocketPC, although the movie was a 480x640 sized movie.

According to one of the members (called Guidance) on our board (www.pocketpc-club.nl) there is a solution to this problem. The registry contains a maximumheight and maximumwidth parameter for media player. By adjusting these parameters he could get video to play to the full window. In \HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Media Player\Video\ there are two keys: Maximum Height, this is set to 180, which should read 480 Maximum Width, this is set to 240, where the real maximum is of course 640Due to the lack of a WMV video in the right size, I was not able to check this myself but the original author has used this succesfully!

On my Axim X50v, the registry show: Mx Height: 320, Mx Width: 240
I am running in SE-VGA not true VGA. What should I set and what should I encode the WMV?

Actually with my standard settings (320 x 240), WMP10 can play full screen a WMV encoded at 640 x 480. However WMP10 is running in "Double Pixelation" so the refresh rate is very jerky.
Perhaps by using Tweaksk2k to brute force WMP10 to true VGA. This might help.

Change them and see what happends. We have tested it on HP Hx4700's and Siemens Loox 720's and it worked....
