Hmm. That would be nice.

There's no problem stretching when the movie is in window mode, but as soon as you want full screen, no mouse pointer and no resolution switching (ala cut-scene) it becomes a pain in the butt.

I managed to get around the problem by writing a DLL using PureBasic as that has AVI commands built in which don't have any limits on the stretching dimensions. It's not perfect as there is a very brief flash of grey between my in-game screen and the AVI but at the moment it will have to do. I was hoping to go to and from cut-scenes with no flicker, but that seems next to impossible. I've spent the last 2-3 day's trying different methods of overlaying AVI on my game screen and the DLL seems to be the best I can come up with.
