I dunno, I use this setting and it seemed to be the only way I could get
recordings to display correctly. My recordings are all 4:3 (from a PVR-500)
and my TV is also 4:3, but I have to drive it with an HMDI to Composite
converter which looks like a 16:9 target to the computer. So setting the
aspect override to 16:9 is the only way video displays correctly on the TV
(otherwise it would squeeze and letterbox horizontally).
