It looks like my overscanning problems with the PVR350 are comming
back to bother me again in MythTV. All the videos I watch happen to be
subtitled anime, and the subtitles are being cutoff at the bottom of
my screen.

Any suggestions on settings for mplayer (or maybe it needs to be
somewhere else) to scale the video down some?


I use the following in ~/.mplayer/config for my 720p output :

vf = scale=1184:-2,expand=1280:720:38::0

You can adjust it for your display size. the scale argument scales the video to 1184 wide and the -2 for vertical tells it to maintain the original aspect ratio. Then the expand argument creates a black window 1280 wide by 720 tall, and places the newly scaled video 38 pixels in from the left, while centering the vertical.

Good luck!
