"It’s a common misconception that there are more pixels in a recorded
16:9 SD image than a 4:3 one because in reality all PAL D:1 images are
actually 720x576 pixels, it’s just that a true 16:9 image is
anamorphically squeezed into 720x576 pixels…"
So a TV signal (again, AFAIK) only contains 720x576 pixels.
A widescreen TV signal has the same number of pixels but each pixel is a
different shape (in fact, for anamorphic, they're not even the same
shape as each other - I *think* anamorphic is not relevant here)
So (again AFAIK) there's no point in messing about with resolutions -
the card will essentially scale to 720x576 anyway.
This all changes for 16:9 projector (and probably 16:9 plasma/lcd
screens and HDTV) where there are a different number of pixels.
My projector actually has 856x480 (square) pixels (the US is a big
market so I get stuck with NTSC height <sigh>) so in my case the
applications can just scale the video and it all looks fine!
(This is just by way of giving you a decent argument to give to the wife
to buy a projector <grin>)
Same here. Actually I find I get a much higher video quality by
outputting 720x576 and letting the Plasma do the scaling instead. It
seems the scaling algorithms in my video chipset (VIA) aren't a match
for JVC's!
