issue is the container, not the file. Mplayer knows about it and
doesn't consider it a bug. However, it is in MythTV. It shows up in the
Perl Bindings, which use mplayer in file Recording.pm to get
information about MPEG files. Therefore it becomes a MythTV problem,
and I've filed it as Ticket #6774. <br>

The problem is with your method of resolution detection. Both Myth <br>
and ffmpeg (ffmpeg -i file) detect the resolution fine. The <br>
deficiency is with mplayer/trying to get the resolution this way. You <br>
can probably submit a bug to the mplayer folks, though. <br>

Get mplayer to fix it, or use ffmpeg. <br>

It's not a myth or HD-PVR bug, see above. <br>
