I've noticed this as well. I think it happens when the channel is broadcasting widescreen aspect footage and then switches to standard 4:3. I'm viewing the output on my Nvidia FX5200 so I don't think it's the graphics device which is causing the issue. A good example is CBeebies (childrens TV). Most of their recent stuff is widescreen which is displayed correctly on the TV, but if they show an old program the black bars are displayed on the left and right of the picture, which means that on a 4:3 TV you see black bars all round. My old set-top box appears to switch aspects when the program starts which would probably be the ideal behaviour in Myth as well. -- Neil Milne
