Isn't it funny that you have to set an option to 4:3 when you want to see a 16:9 movie on a 16:9 screen ? I myself tried all kind of setup with xine, none of them being satisfactory... I also changed the "DisplaySize 590 330" in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, to make X aware that pixels are not square...
I proposed something to the softdevice plugin, where the field of scaling/croping is wide open. I hope to bring something easier to understand for common people... A setup where you say 16:9 when you want 16:9... See https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/softdevice-devel/2005q2/000594.html
Do the aspect ratio setup options in Setup->DVB have any effect on output plugins other than a full-featured card? I've never really convinced myself one way or the other on that!
I didn't see any effect on either vdr-xine or softdevice. I think it does not have to have an effect, since it is a code VDR option, and core means FF card. On the other hand, I proposed that softdevice use this option as a hint about the actual screen ratio. I think any plugin can use that option.
