Cool.  Maybe I should try this from another angle, given that I
capture at 352x480, and say, by experimentation, that I discover that
I need to crop 57 lines from the top and 57 lines from the bottom to
be rid of the black, bit-wasting bars.

Maintaining field parity is very important, and assuming that when
given the parameter of "-fs" MPlayer _centers_ the image veritcally, I
really should only crop either 56 or 58 lines so that an odd field
starts on a odd line and and even field starts on an even line.  Is
this a correct assessment?

Now given that my frame height is now 368 (480 - 56 - 56) and width is
704 with a pixel ratio of 10:11, and my formula for arriving at the
display aspect ratio being:

    width * 10
    ---------- : height
        11

my display aspect ratio for 704x368 would be (704 * 10 / 11) / 368
(aka 640:368) which is 1.7391.

Did I get anything incorrect?
