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 -- NH
