Hi. I'm using the latest version 6.4.0.4
I want to use the extreme render bit the thumbnails are with wrong resolution.
I tried different containers (mkv, avi, mp4) and codecs (x.264, xvid), all videos 1280x720, but they all come as 720x720.
<-- extreme
I have no such issues with engine 1, engine 2 and crystal.
<-- crystal (it works though showing 720x720@1280x720 )
<-- engine 2
I'm not sure if the problems is with my codecs or extreme render. Can you help me?
Wrong resolution with Extreme render
Seems like you have anamorphic video.
Thus your video has physical resolution 720 pixels x 720 pixels (so originally it IS square). But there is a flag in the video file that tells players to playback this video with 16:9 ratio (and your physical proportion of width : height is 1:1 (720:720)) . And if a player can read that flag then it stretches the video so its width : height becomes 16 : 9. In your case your player stretches width from 720 to 1280.
So I suppose Extreme engine ignores that ratio flag and reads physical proportions (1:1 in your case) and makes thumbnails according to that ratio.
Other Engines do read ratio flag and make 16:9 thumbnails and some of engine shows even physical resolution and playback resolution (720x720@1280x720).
So it's not codecs or something, It is anamorphic video.
P.S. Tried it with my videos. Strange, but Extreme engine gives me the proper ratio and writes that 720x720@1280x720. And all others returns me square thumbnails 1:1.

My videos are not anamorphic. I encode only with strict resolution.
I don't know exactly why but everything is back to normal now. I suspect it was from the codecs. I use K-Lite Mega and they put betas of some codecs. Maybe after the latest update it went back to normal.

I have the same proble again. After updating K-Lite the worng resolution returned.
I tried old versions of Video Thumbnails Maker but the problem persists.
So obviously it's a compability between K-Lite and Video Thumbnails Maker.
I've used this software for quite a long time. I've never changed the way I encode my videos as well.
It all began lately with the K-Lite updates.
Can you do something about this?

I'm always with thw latest version of K-Lite.
Now the only renderer that works properly for me is engine2. The thumbnails it produces are in the correct resolution: 1280x720.
All other renderers come out in 720x720.
I tied changing lav filter's h264, ffdshow's h264 and coreavc. All the same. I even tried lav splitter and haali, but to no avail.
I tried the same video file on another PC with cleanly installed Win7 and Video Thumbnails Maker works like charm. The resolution is correct.
I can't understand what's wromg with my PC that it passes wrong resolution info to Video Thumbnails Maker.

What are your K-Lite settings?
There is a configuration tool in K-Lite codec-pack (aka Codec tweak Tool).
Can you provide screenshots of your settings?
Also, k-Lite is coming in different packages (Standard, Full, Mega, ...). Which one is yours?
