I have to use the Video Aspect Override setting to force my 4:3 videos
recorded on a PVR500 to display correctly on my 4:3 CRT SDTV because it's
passing through an HDMI->Composite converter that is accepting a 720p
signal. (Without the override they are squashed horizontally). I tried
other video mode settings in X (thoroughly) but the aspect was still wrong
so this is what I stuck with. It causes no other issues for us, though, so
it's no problem.
