Adjust DVD screen size?

[gomjabar]

When playing DVD's the screen size isnt being displayed wide enough. instead of say 16:9 its 12:8. The result is everything is streached vertically. Im using the nvidia decoder and dont see an option to adjust this. Is there a way to set this in gbpvr?

Also, The dvd plays back fine when I play it through Windows media player using the same decoder settings.

I asked a similar question, see the thread below. Playing around with the seetings using notepad enabled me to get a set of aspect ratios which I'm pretty happy with.

ok, this is basically what I want to adjust...but do those numbers represent? Also there are 4 aspect ratios listed. Are they for different uses? like 1 for tv, 2 for dvds...? Ill start fiddling but anything you have learned would be appreciated.

0,0,1,1
ok first 0 = left position (0 = the zero coord, ie absolute left for your screen, you can use a minus value to stretch it offscreen)
second 0 = top position
first 1 = width (1 = 100%, so play around with values like 0.92 - 1.12 etc)
second 1 = height.

it just takes a lot of playing around until you get it right.

humm...im putting in different numbers like .35 instead of .125 and im not seeing
any difference in the dvd playback?

you have to use F7 to cycle through the aspect ratio.
