[mythtv-users] cropping video problem

[tcosimano at gmpexpress.net]

Also I just found this in dmesg

cx25840: Decoder set size 480x480 (from 720x487) -> scale  524288x65529, 
filter 0

I set it back to 720x487 and every time I select "Watch TV" it sets the 
encoder back to 480x480.  Which size do I really want?  720x487 displays 
great on my monitor (don't have a tv to hook up yet).  Is 480x480 a 
default setting in myth? and if so why?  All I want to do is record and 
watch tv and burn shows to DVD to play on my stand-alone DVD players.
