with the new aspect ratios you can easily switch between the defined aspect ratios. but ive found that i keep switching to certain ones, for certain videos. i have a widescreen tv. and ive created a aspect ratio that shrinks width (so the overscan part of the image is shown, so the image appears tall and skinny) and then stretched the height, this gives me a simulated widescreen effect, which is great for tv in most situations. i could set this to the default ratio, but i have a lot of xvids, which are all widescreen 640x350 (or around that), which i use the normal aspect ratio for 0,0,1,1. it would be nice if you gbpvr detected the aspect ratio of the video, and automatically switched to that aspect ratio for that given file or live tv. you will still need to switch manually sometimes, for widescreen broadcasts which have the black bars. but in general it will be automatic.
