Xvid aspect ratio with W2K & Overlay

[malgernon]

Hi,

Just checking the situation with this since I couldn't find it resolved in the forums.

I've a W2K system playing Xvids. As warned in the Wiki, the aspect ratio is wrong, filling the TV screen rather than letterbox.

Have any solutions/workarounds been developed with this? Otherwise, is it possible to get gb-pvr to fire up another media player to play Xvids, rather than manually having to go back into Windows to run Windows Media Player.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Tarquin

I'm assuming it would work in overlay, but if you use ffdshow as your decoder/post-processor, you can have it do the resizing. Maybe descaler can do the same thing, if you use that.

Thanks for the fix - this worked fine just installing ffdshow and ticking the aspect ratio setting.

Fantastic
