Question..

What about transcoding MPEG2 into MPEG4 after a recording and you have
"Resize Video while transcoding" AND the newly developed "Preserve
Aspect Ratio of Video when resizing" option?  The height is auto
calculated in that case.

Is this situation the same as the above commit?

I say this because I have a PBS HDTV program 1920x1080i that I
transcode into a 544 wide MPEG4 so I can view it on my SDTV.  The
height works out to be 302 or so pixels (to keep the aspect correct). 
When I play that newly encoded file, I have a strange color cast on
the top 1/6th of the picture.

Same problem or different?
