</div>I'm also on 10.5.8, but rev 22957, although I doubt that makes much<br>
difference. It sounds to me like your TV might be choosing to stretch<br>
the content on its own. My set has an "auto-stretch" setting that I<br>
turn off.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Hey Steve,</div><div><br></div><div>I thought of that, so I tried connecting the Mac Mini to my Cinema Display, unfortunately I get the same behaviour. I'll probably try hooking my MBP to the tv later this evening, but I'm not really expecting any revelations. </div>
<div><br></div><div>If I compensate for the horizontal stretch by forcing a v-stretch zoom, then the recorded content is watchable. As long as nothing important happens in the top or bottom part of the frame that is :-)</div>
