Sound neat. I would give it a shot if it was added to MythTV. But I'm getting by just fine with the current stretch/zoom modes.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 2/12/07, <b class="gmail_sendername"><a href="mailto:kanetse@gmail.com">

I've seen some discussion on this list about implementing the<br>non-linear stretch of 4:3 material to fit a 16:9 screen (where the<br>edges of the picture are stretched more than the middle). Many TVs<br>seem to have it nowadays, but not all of them. In some cases, these
<br>stretch modes don't work with digital (DVI) or PC inputs (VGA D-sub).<br><br>In Canada (and presumbly other non-US regions), there is still a<br>substantial amount of SD content out there. So seeing 4:3 ratio<br>
material is still frequently the norm; although the proportion of HD<br>aspect material is higher for shows aired around prime-time.<br><br>Some people have talked about the a non-linear stretch of 4:3; but<br>what is the feeling of the users on this list? Do you think it's
<br>something that will be implemented into MythTV at some point in the<br>future? Or maybe never?<br><br>For me, it's something that guides any TV shopping that I do. Some of<br>the built-in aspect ratio stretchers in TVs are better than others,
<br>but knowing that MythTV would do the job (at least consistently) would<br>be make shopping easier.<br><br>How about this - it seems the Windows MCE 2005 has it implemented.<br><a href="http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000418.html">
