videos come out really small on z3

Recently got new sony z3, and some of the videos i transported from my samsung s3 come out really small on the screen. This happens aswell when i record the screen. This phone os magnificent, it has a massive screen...but its no use if almost all my videos are going to come out tiny!! Does anyone know why this happens and how to fix it?

How did you transferred the videos from your other phone to your Z3? 

could you take a screenshot and post it here or upload it to box or dropbox and post the link?

screenshot = press and hold volume up & power at the same time.

Im getting the app now to show you the screenshot,

The method of screenshotting you showed me doesnt work, is there something in the settings that turns that feature on? I can only screenshot by holding the power button and then it comes up.

You can use a small app to do so

unlock the phone > tap the Square button > tap on the pink icon

Thank you. The way i transferred my videos was by putting all my files on my PC, and then from there onto my new sony phone. This is how most videos and screen recordings show up

It seems that your PC it's messing the videos, are the videos recorded with your S3 or were MMS?

No they were recorded with my s3. Thing is though it happens when i record screen on this phone too, so its videos im also creating on this z3

Recording the screen will create small videos, that's normal. as for the transferred videos that's quite odd, what if you download a different video app and test them.
