Try under

. Settings > Preferences... > Video

. Advanced options check box (bottom-right of window).

. Scroll down to "Monitor pixel aspect ratio", chose what you want and save it.

cheers ...

uhm... so what exactly should this ratio be? i tried putting in 16:9 but that gave me nothing. Any ideas?

Edit:it seems to not make the video 16:9 i go to full screen version and it does nothing it looks all strewn. the lcd tv is 1920x1080.

The Video is almost like 4:3 but more like uhm i can't explain it. It just isn't working properly and i'd like to have it working properly as each and every video i'm watching is a 4:3 native setting and having to set it up as 16:9 each video as it plays is quite annoying.
