Also note that if you put a widescreen without letterbox the video
shows at the top of the screen the the zoom function works badly.
The transcode script (still working on it) does the chop and expand
to letterbox a widescreen onto the 4:3 such that the zoom option has
a chance. In the letterbox widescreen case I don't think the MVPMC
really has a way of knowing that someone could have zoomed the TV,
and has no way of knowing to limit the screen usage.
To be useful *everything* would have to be limited to the letterbox
only area, currently I zoom while watching and then unzoom to do
normal operations, I suspect that Scott does the same thing. I don't
really see that there is an easy way to deal with it.
