Automatic Aspect ratio

This function automatically switches to some specified aspect ratio mode, based on the video dimensions. These dimensions can be specified in the Settings window. When the video has specified dimensions, the aspect ratio is changed. Upon loading another video the aspect ratio is automatically changed to another mode, based on the new dimensions. When the video's dimensions do nut fit for either 4:3 or 16;9 mode, the Free mode is engaged.

SP supports playing DVDs, however all filters (MPEG-2 and audio) must be installed, SP does not provide any filters. Handling DVDs is very similar to normal media files, SP can display external subtitles with DVDs.
