{{Howto|Change the aspect ratio of videos}}

Graphical and command-line approaches are both possible. For all methods both decimals and width:height values may be given, so a fullscreen aspect ratio would be accepted as both 4:3 and 1.3333.

== Graphical ==
=== Qt Interface ===
In the menu bar select '''Tools''' → '''Preferences''' → '''Video''' → '''Force Aspect Ratio'''.

== Command-line ==
As described in [[Documentation:Command line#Video_options]] <code>--aspect-ratio</code> can be given on the command-line. Unlike the graphical approach, this will not modify settings permanently.
