Re: [mythtv-users] transcoded video playback uses the wrong aspec ratio

2005-10-16 Thread jondz
It might help if you play with the 
DisplaySize attribute of X,
in my xorg.conf or XF*4 file 
I have

--
Section Monitor
Identifier  Generic Monitor
Option  DPMS
HorizSync   28-38
VertRefresh 43-72
DisplaySize 400 225
EndSection
---

Which as far as I can detect is correct
(for movie playing) on my 16:9 television.

Then I force the aspect some more in the
myth configuration (aspect override).

 I can switch back to 4:3zoom via the on-screen menu and everything

 for transcoded video? Is there any way that I can  configure
 myth/mplayer to use the 4:3 zoom ratio for playback of transcoded

 PS - I'm not finding a lot of documentation on recording profiles,
 transcoding and the like, so its very possible that I've missed
 something. If someone point could point me at some relevant docs or
 howto's I would appreciate it.
