I think what is being asked for is that the OSD always displays at the screens full physical extent even if the TV channel being watched is only 4:3 in the centre for example. Andrew On Tue, May 5, 2009 at 6:58 PM, Joachim Wilke wrote: > 2009/5/4 Nicolas Huillard : > > Matthias Becker a écrit : >

I agree that OSD should be set to the output of the device's resolution. Not the video content it self. Would really love to see that change happen. On 04/05/2009, Nicolas Huillard wrote: > Matthias Becker a écrit : > > > and what about anamorphic material? > > A 16:9 SD broadcast in fact still

I keep seeing mention of people using computer monitors and that VDR should be designed to accommodate their aspect ratios. I'd like to point out that plenty of users don't use VDR with a computer monitor at all. Like many others, I have an hdtv (60" in my case) and would love to have an osd that

and what about anamorphic material? A 16:9 SD broadcast in fact still is 4:3 but is streached by the TV to 16:9 to look ok (no egg-heads). Wouldn't it be correct also to draw the OSD anamorphic so that is not screached by the TV? Did you get the point? It's somehow difficult to describe this topi
