I set the General TV settings to 16/9 and thats done the trick but this
may affect my DVB viewing later..<br>
<br>
but back to the Composite stream, my video stream is pretty poor , ie
I'm getting un refreshed artefacts "blocks" all over the screen<br>
ie where there is no movement it seems to be no refreshing that part of
the image.<br>
<br>
Note I get a pretty good picture with TVTIME but not with MythTV.<br>

<pre wrap="">Can anyone tell me where the Aspect ratio for "Composite0" is set?
My DVB is ok, but the analog capture via Composite is not displaying
16:9 .. looks like 4:3 but I can't find where this is set for this device.

The software encoder (NuppelVideoRecorder) assumes 4:3 input and there's
currently no way to change it via a setting.
If this is the only card you have and you want to force it via a hack to
the source code, you can edit mythtv/libs/libmythtv/NuppelVideoRecorder.cpp
and search for "video_aspect = 1.33333;" in
NuppelVideoRecorder::NuppelVideoRecorder() and change that to
"video_aspect = 1.77777;" to force 16:9 aspect ratio in the .nuv file.
It wouldn't be that hard for someone to add support for an Aspect Ratio
setting for analog capturecards to use for what you're describing.
