Describe the bug
Quicklook opens videos with grey bars to the left and right. This might be due to the aspect ratio.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open a video with aspect ratio of e.g. 4:3
  2. The video could be .avi or .mpg, possibly more
  3. Quicklook will feature these grey bars to the left and right
  4. Manually resize it to the needed size

Expected behavior
Quicklook shouldn't take up more space than necessary

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS Version: Windows 10 1903
  • QuickLook Version: 3.6.5 UWP

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in QuickLook 3.6.5 UWP on Windows 10 with a 4:3 .avi or .mpg video, then trace the video window sizing behavior. Done means the window opens at the actual video size without unnecessary grey bars to the left and right.
