Comment(by Steve VanDeBogart <vandebo-mythtvtrac at nerdbox.net>):

 I've cleaned up this patch and applied it against svn head.

 It does seem that thumbnails generated by mytharchivehelper are at the
 native video resolution.  I could add python code to scale those as they
 come in, but it seems that the "right way" to fix it is to change
 mytharchivehelper to examine the aspect ratio of the video as it extracts
 the image and scale it on the spot.  Especially since it's possible (I
 think) for a video stream (specifically VOB) to have different aspect
 ratio's for different sections of video. Let me know what you think the
 best way to fix this is and I'll work on it.
