[mythtv-users] Correcting overscan in MythVideo/mplayer

[korebantic]

mplayer -fs -display :0 -quiet -vf scale=520:-2,expand=640:480:45:40 \
 -zoom -vo xv /var/video/mythvideo/Lunar_Bleach_58.avi

Does the trick. I'm not sure I really understand resolutions very
well. For example, scale=540:-2, along with other resolutions,
completely garbled the image. Do you know how to determine "valid"
resolutions without having to resort to trial and error?
