[mythtv-users] Are transcoded files supposed to play in mplayer?

This should be fixed in current CVS.  0.17 and previous would set the aspect
ratio to 1:1 in nuppel files, with current CVS, the correct aspect should
be in the .nuv file.  Main reason I did this was to allow transcoding of
16:9 content, but it fixed the issue you're seeing as well.

Are you trying with current CVS or 0.17? I thought they should still
play as long as you had a mplayer that supported Myth's nuppel format.
