[mythtv-users] mythtv showing a square picture instead of 4:3

[Chris Germano]

I figured out the problem with image tearing on my screen was because of twinview. I disabled that but now when I goto playback video in mythTV it comes up square with bars on the sides. I'm using a 4:3 TV and it is in 4:3 mode but it's square! If I hit W it goes 16:9 and actually fills the screen correctly, but this setting does not stick when i back out! The myth menus, mplayer, ogle all work perfectly, except for mythtv playback, any ideas? Here are my new settings:

    #TV Out Setup
#    Option "TwinView"
#    Option "TwinViewOrientation" "Clone"
#    Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "30-50"
#    Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "60"
#    Option "ConnectedMonitor" "crt,tv"
#    Option "MetaModes" "1024x768, 1024x768; 800x600, 800x600; 640x480, 640x480;"
    Option "ConnectedMonitor" "TV"
    Option "TVStandard" "NTSC-M"
    Option "TVOutFormat" "SVIDEO"
#   Option "TVOutFormat" "COMPOSITE"
    Option "TVOverScan" "0.6"
    Option "NoLogo" "TRUE"
