Hi,
We experience that videos in FLV that origanally are stored in the size of 320x240 are displayed in 600x400 pixels which compromise the video output quality. (Moodle 1.93+)
The same happens if the resource is opened as a New Window and the media plugins has been enabled.
Thank you for your advice
Cheers,
Jens
Hi Jens,
I think the default size for multimediaplugins are defined in the moodle/filter/mediaplugin/filter.php for the different formats.

Hi Ralf,
Thanks for the tip - but it seems to be somewhere else.
I did try to alter it arround line 161 - but it did not change anything.
Happy New Year!

There is a little bit of code you can insert to make the player whatever size you want. I am using widescreen videos, and they looked downright awful in the default size. This solution goes right into the html of the page. There might be a solution through editing the php, but that is above my knowledge at this point. This is a video by video, html workaround.
All you need to do is link to the .flv and add this bit of code to the end of the link:
?d=desired width x desired height
So to get your video to be 320 by 240, you link would look like this:
<a href="the exact location of you file/folder/video.flv?d=320x240"></a>
I am currently using this in one of my courses and here is my exact code:
<a type="video" title="Intro Video" href="http://cdis2.missouri.edu/moodle/file.php/61/activities/IntroStats.flv?d=432x280"></a>
Now if I can just get it to show a first frame preview instead of that black screen, I will be pleased as punch.

Hi Jerod:
Have you got to show the first frame in the flv videos preview, like <a href="...flv?d=...&..."></a> ?
