I don't know what xv is nor what it does, but it sounds strange to me, that
a "program" can make 1600x1200 out of the standard pal-resolution :-)

Same here. Why should one get more than the DVD-resolution out of a DVD? The
video IS in 720x576 (or 768?), it cannot be viewed in a higher resolution
:-)

It worked for me when I was using Windows for DVB-viewing. Fullscreen
1600x1200 tv, but it was interpolated, still not more details than 768x576
would give.
