    Amazon Possible non-standard PAR (width) when playing some videos

    This is more of a potential FYI if you notice weird video scaling, as it doesn't appear in all players or all Amazon videos, but some videos have odd PARs (pixel aspect ratio). So if you notice something off, this could be the reason.

    If your player is honoring one of these videos it will probably be a few pixels sorter width wise.


    The only reason I caught it was because for some reason my media player showed Clarkson's Farm S02Ep1 very squished. It was only 1760x872 instead of 1920x872.

    MediaInfo nor the player showed anything odd and that it should be playing at 1920x872. The only program I found that showed something related was Handbrake. In it normally the PAR is 1/1, but the Clarkson's Farm video was 1199/1200.

    Season 1 of Clarkson's Farm was fine but Season 2 and 3 had this issue. The movie Three Days to Kill also had a weird PAR, but another movie was fine. Maybe I just happened to stumble on a few oddities.
