Re: VDR-1.7.7 & Video aspect ratios

[Andrew Herron <totallymaxed@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think what is being asked for is that the OSD always displays at the screens full physical extent even if the TV channel being watched is only 4:3 in the centre for example.

Who is "we", at least my (and most other TV I have seen) rescale 16:9
(anamorphic) material to display it with the right aspect. This
results in a wrong display of the OSD. This should be fixed. An
ordinary user will not understand, why the OSD looks sometimes normal
and sometimes "broad" (stretched).
