problem?

Hi Folks,
Well, a little more information on my aspect ratio problem, given that I
got a couple of reports back from people indicating that they didn't have
any problems doing aspect ratio changes on 0.16;
On a debian testing system (current as of 21st Sept 2004) I rebuilt current
CVS (as of 20:00 GMT ish on 22nd Sept 2004) from scratch and nuked the rest
of my config to make sure it was clean (.mythtv and .qt dirs, I left my db
intact). I then ran up the system to see if I could reproduce my problem of
keyboard input being ignored following pressing the 'W' key to change the
aspect ratio.
It seems that the problem only occurs when using the (otherwise
_very_wonderful_) Bob deinterlacer. Using other deinterlacers seems to
result in correct operation. Also, on playback, selecting aspect ratio
changes from the Menu ('M' key) also does not work correctly...
Obviously I can't rule out a configuration problem at my end, but the
evidence seems to point to some change in Bob that was introduced just
before 0.16 was frozen which is affecting aspect ratio changes. Hope this
information is useful to someone....I'll try to look further into it
tomorrow and do more checking to make sure it's not my system that's
broken, but it's bedtime now.... In the meantime if anyone else wants to
confirm that there is a problem pressing 'W' when using Bob deinterlacing
on 0.16 and subsequent builds it would be appreciated.
Regards
DAVE
