I'm not sure about how it works with a 16:9 display (because I don't have one), but there's a setting for Aspect Override under Utilities / Setup -> Setup -> TV Settings -> General that gives you choices like Fill, 4/3, 16/9, 4/3 Zoom, 16/9 Stretch, etc.

Somewhere along my upgrades, the "i" Menu button on my A415 stopped<br>working. It use to bring up a menu during the playback of a recorded<br>show. On that menu, one of the options was some aspect ratio choices,
<br>including a 4:3, some zoom choices, etc.. I don't remember all the<br>choices, I can't get that menu up...<br><br>But, anyway, my system previously had the defaults to do something I<br>would best describe as "best fit to screen" where it would zoom/unzoom
<br>the recording to best fit the output (S-Video 4:3). Meaning, if there<br>was a HDTV recording, or a movie on DVD, or a 16:9, it didn't matter,<br>it would fit it to the screen with no change in aspect ratio, leaving
<br>black bars at the top and bottom.<br><br>Now, it does the opposite type of default zoom, it fits whatever image<br>to the maximum zoom of 4:3 and distorts the image. So, now I never<br>get the top/bottom black areas. instead, when watching a DVD or HDTV
<br>recording, I get tall skinny people... know what I mean?<br><br>So, eventually I want to figure out how to get my playback options<br>menu back when I hit "i" (menu) on my A415....<br><br>But for now, I just want to know how to set the zoom defaults to what
<br>I'd call "fit to screen" instead of "fill screen." Can anyone tell me<br>where that setting is?<br><br>Thanks in advance...<br>_______________________________________________<br>mythtv-users mailing list
