Now that it is working: how do I get the correct aspect ratio?
I am watching BBC1 and the image is squashed horizontally.
More details: the image is squashed except when it is at 100% (the window or the zoom factor). I can not shrink it to 50% and keep the correct ratio in either case. When the window is at 100% I can not zoom to 50% at all.
I am guessing that this may be a xine issue more than a VDR one?
My guess is this has something to do with the way the BBC broadcasts 4:3 pictures.. they use something called AFD extensions which means they're still sending a basic 'widescreen' flag, but also describing that the picture is 4:3 inside this - if the MPEG decoder doesn't handle this properly you end up with all kinds of squashed-picture or letterboxing-on-all-four-sides problems..
I don't use vdr-xine or other software decoding, so I'm afraid I'm unable to help here :/
Cheers, Gavin.
