[mythtv] Changes of Aspect Ratio when OSD is displayed

OK, I did a bit more digging....the problem only occurs when
AspectRatioOveride = Fill

I have a recording which starts off as 544x576 with an aspect of 1.77777
(16:9), the osd is displayed in the correct place. The stream then
changes to 544x576 with an aspect of 1.333333 (4:3). The OSD is now
offset to the right and doesn't recover even if you skip back into the
first section.

I initially suspected VideoOutput::GetVisibleSize(...), shouldn't this
be looking at dispwoff when working out xoff? but here is something more
subtle going on. Anybody got any ideas?

thanks

Neale
PS: This is definitely the cause of the SEGV I posted a while ago
