Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the heads up. That explains it then :)

A couple of questions / thoughts:

* Are there other video renderers that do not support scaling?

* Shouldn't the OSD scaling be disabled for the renderers that don't
support video scaling?

* Should the Aspect and Fill menus be disabled when using an
unsupported video renderer?

* I am wondering if the "F1" for popup help binding could be used in
the settings page (throughout) to provided extended help text.
Probably a separate discussion though.

I am willing to tackle the above if there is a consensus, I won't be
so stupid to say they sound straight forward but I think I should be
able to do it ;)

Cheers,

Roo.
