i've been working lately to configure my home PC as a DVR with the HDTV set on the secondary display over HDMI (and still using the PC while the DVR is working). and i've found another issue for which there appears to be no answer on the forums.
my problem is that with intervideo the timeshift live TV in 720p is letterboxed (black bars on top/bottom) on fill and auto aspect. when i force it to "remove letter box" to make 720p look fine all the other channels are also displayed with a zoom and it's bad.
i'm using InterVideo Video Filter 7.0.27.191 from Cole2k Media - Codec Pack V7.8.0 Advanced.
the other channels 1080i and 480i look fine in auto/fill modes.
other codecs like ATI, Dscaler, Cyberlink that i tried have other issues (like high CPU usage or missing letters in the closed caption). i've applied the DX9b fix for quartz.dll and the VMR9 rendering is now way way better but this aspect ratio is killing me.
is there a way to set the aspect ratio per channel or somehow force 720p to fill the screen? this issue happens in both the window mode and full screen (on a 720p HDTV).
thanks!
