Those settings are in the recording profiles, but they do also impact how the video is played back. For example, on my wide-screen TV, if I capture video with the aspect ratio set to 4:3 in the recording profiles, MythTV plays them back in 4:3 mode (though I can hit 'w' to cycle modes). I prefer stretched mode to fill the screen, so I set my recording profiles for 16:9, and that's the default way they'll play back in MythTV for me. (I finally figured out the point of 4:3 zoom mode too -- stuff that is broadcast 4:3 with letter-boxing zooms to fit perfectly on a 16:9 set with perfect aspect ratio ;-).
