I have searched the web and can not find the answer to<br>this question.<br><br>Config<br>Fedora 7<br>MythTV 0.20.2<br>pcHDTV-5500<br>PVR-3500<br>nVidia 7600 GS<br>32" 16.9 TV<br><br>I have a HDTV which is 16x9. Within the
xorg.conf<br>file I set the resolution at 1280x720 with 100x100<br>dpi. I have verified this by using xdpyinfo. I am<br>connected to Comcast Cable. When I view standard<br>definition channels (2-96), the picture fills the
<br>entire screen. I go to "Change Aspect Ratio" in the<br>menu, and select 4x3 and the picture dimensions do to<br>change. Is this normal? I thought when I selected<br>4x3 dimension, I would get the black bars vertically
<br>on each side.<br><br>So the question is when you are viewing standard<br>definition cable channel, with mythtv, on a HD<br>television, do you get the vertical black bars?<br><br>thanks<br>Darrel</blockquote><div><br>So I think what you're saying is that a 4:3 video is only able to be shown at 16:9 no matter what you do? This is not the norm, by default you should have the black bars on the side if it's a 4:3 video.
<br><br>I seem to remember reading on a thread recently that if you're running one of the latest versions of X-Org you have a new option in your setup somewhere that lets you choose the aspect ratio of your monitor. I think this is because something Xinerama is enabled by default and it's causing problems in the detection of the monitor ratio.
